Stream from IP camera
in Bug Reports
Hi,
I would like to add mjpg stream from IP camera to repetier server web interface. The camera is working fine, the stream works in printer setup window, but not in printer window and home page. The error message in log file is "Missing boundary in webcam stream, stopping."
It is simple to integrate http stream to web page, but all web pages are hard coded in repetierserver binary.
Re-encoding stream by ffserver works, but it takes a lot of processing time on slow on slow hw.

In the beginning we used the solution without proxy, but there were 2 reason to change that:
1. If you access it from outside using port forwarding you are not in the same subnet, so this solution still solves this and makes webcam from outside available with a single port forward.
2. Outside connections and even sometimes locally the traffic is too high so you can not transfer full webcam framerate. With our recoding we can drop frames if required. That way the webcam does not lag that much behind.
Regarding proxy solution, it is fine that it is necessary to forward only one port, but for our printers we use vpn connection for security reasons. All printers and cameras are on the separate wifi network with vpn access from outer internet. Is pity that you removed option for connection without proxy and re-encoding, now we have not control over stream quality, size, frame rate or format.
And your vpn solution is good, but out of scope of many other users and we have to work for all:-)
