  • MJPG-streamer

    Fork of http://sourceforge.net/projects/mjpg-streamer/

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

  • OctoPrint

    OctoPrint is the snappy web interface for your 3D printer!

    • OctoPi, the OctoPrint Pi distribution, uses mjpg-streamer by default and won't work with a Pi camera out of the box if you install a 64-bit OS version.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • OctoPi

    Scripts to build OctoPi, a Raspberry PI distro for controlling 3D printers over the web

    • OctoPi, the OctoPrint Pi distribution, uses mjpg-streamer by default and won't work with a Pi camera out of the box if you install a 64-bit OS version.

  • libcamera-streamer

    mjpg-streamer replacment for using new Pi cameras with new OSes and OctoPrint

    • I made libcamera-streamer, a small drop-in replacement for mjpg-streamer that uses the Python picamera2 bindings to access the camera and expose the MJPEG stream and JPEG snapshot images OctoPrint needs. Bonus: the MJPEG stream is low resolution and high framerate, while the snapshot URL gives you a high-resolution image for your time lapses. (The snapshot grab does stutter the live stream a bit, though.)

  • OctoPi-UpToDate

    Latest OctoPi image with OctoPrint already updated to the latest release

  • camera-streamer

    High-performance low-latency camera streamer for Raspberry PI's

    • Ah, cool, looks like more effort and polish has gone into that than my workaround! I'm a bit disappointed I missed camera-streamer (or saw it and didn't expect it to solve my issue).
