ustreamer VS tinypilot

FYI until recently this was known as 'rtsp-simple-server', but it outgrew simply being a RTSP server so it was rebranded. It is commonly used in the 3D printing community for serving webcams attached to printers along with ustreamer (https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer).

uStreamer is far superior to the mjpgstreamer utility that nearly everyone uses. It supports the Pi's OMX media encoder, so you can get reasonable quality with low CPU usage.

I've been in the same situation as you and have been looking into https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer as an alternative to mpjg-streamer under Raspian Bullseye with the unicam driver and the Media Controller API framework.

Maybe look at https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer

I've done work before where we stream USB cameras via mjpg using https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer

Granted this project looks like a lot more streamlined.

pikvm is open source as well: https://github.com/pikvm/pikvm

In fact, TinyPilot is based on ustreamer, that is developed by Maxim Devaem, the pikvm creator: https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer

I was reading about the TinyPilot rPI-based KVM-over-IP project which essentially uses a UVC adapter to provide video for KVM over IP. It uses ustreamer, a no-nonsense way to stream such devices.

https://tinypilotkvm.com is a great option for this.

You could use the PI to run TinyPilot for IP KVM for one of the PCs: https://github.com/tiny-pilot/tinypilot

TinyPilot Voyager 2 KVM

You can still do TinyPilot yourself without buying their custom product it is much cheaper just use https://github.com/tiny-pilot/tinypilot
