Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Sam Reed <s...@reedyboy.net> * Package name : ustreamer Version : 2.2 Upstream Author : Maxim Devaev <mdev...@gmail.com> * URL : https://pikvm.org/ * License : GPL-3 Programming Lang: C Description : Lightweight and fast MJPG-HTTP streamer
µStreamer is a lightweight and very quick server to stream MJPG videofrom any V4L2 device to the network. All new browsers have native support of this video format, as well as most video players such as mplayer, VLC etc. µStreamer is a part of the Pi-KVM project designed to stream VGA and HDMI screencast hardware data with the highest resolution and FPS possible. ustreamer is used as part of Pi-KVM (a Raspberry Pi based IP KVM), to stream video to a web browser. It is intended to get this packaged so it will eventually be available in Raspberry Pi OS (and other Debian derivatives), allowing Pi-KVM to be used on those OS rather than using Arch. I currently use it as part of the Pi-KVM project, and hopefully when it is packaged, also use it as part of OctoPrint and the OctoPi OS (version of Raspberry Pi OS). MJPG-Streamer is alternative software providing the same function, however it is currently not packaged for Debian either, though it is available in a snap. I'm happy to work on packaging/maintaining it in future, and I believe the upstream Author (Maxim) may be interested too, but is currently busy with other work, hence me packaging it.
