octoprint_install VS MJPG-streamer

git clone https://github.com/paukstelis/octoprint_install.git.

I'm using an Inovato Quadra on my Ender 3 Pro. It was easy to setup with this script.

https://github.com/paukstelis/octoprint_install This is the installer script I used on my orange pi to set it up. Through the setup process it has you connect your webcam and set resolution and frame rate. Make sure you choose mjpg streamer vs ustreamer because Octolapse doesn't allow you to change camera settings if you choose ustreamer.

This script can help get Octoprint set up.

The guides I followed (this and this) both set the Octoprint service to autostart, so I can reboot from the browser or SSH or power cycle and Octoprint is active.

Should you have wanted to save yourself significant time, just could have just installed Debian and run the octoprint_install script: https://github.com/paukstelis/octoprint_install

Sorry, that's my bad. I'm running OctoPi on an old desktop, set up with Octoprint_Install: https://github.com/paukstelis/octoprint_install. The stream URL it gave by default is /cam_octoprint/?action=stream. Though while typing this comment, you did tip me off to something that actually fixed it! I was able to access my Octoprint instance with the Port 5000 URL, so never tried it without it. Once I deleted that port from the URL, I was able to access my Octoprint instance and the webcam stream is functioning! Thank you for your help!

mjpg-streamer uses MMAL to access the Raspberry Pi Camera data, but that's not implemented on ARM 64-bit Linux.

cd ~ sudo apt-get install cmake libjpeg62-turbo-dev:armhf libjpeg62-turbo-dev imagemagick ffmpeg libv4l-dev cmake git clone https://github.com/jacksonliam/mjpg-streamer.git cd mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer-experimental export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. make sudo make install

I think I was able to solve my own issue. I'm now using https://github.com/jacksonliam/mjpg-streamer to start a stream. It creates a minimal web interface at http://pi-address:8080/, and the path /?action=stream can be accessed from MotionEye.

I need to stream all three of them to a Windows computer, so the maximum bandwidth is about 100mbit. I have tried "motion", but the performance is abysmal. I get not more that one frame per second and the latency is 3s. I used https://github.com/jacksonliam/mjpg-streamer with one camera. Its super fluid with a latency of maybe 200ms, and full 30fps. But the stream takes 60mbit/s bandwidth so it is impossible to use all three cameras. I tried changing the jpg quality but mjpg-streamer crashes.

Thanks for your interest! I will opensource this project soon, but in case you want to start off now, here's some resources I used: - MJPG-Streamer https://github.com/jacksonliam/mjpg-streamer - .NET 6, targeting Linux (tutorial:) - dotnet package on linux - My custom designed case (beta!): Bottom part - Top part

Have you looked into mjpg-streamer (or other forks, this was the first Google result)
