Looks good, do you want me to pull this now or wait till you have the support in OctoPrint?

Let’s merge it now, and I will work on support in OctoPrint.

Thanks! 🌝

Howdy, I have installed. Took a while to get configured.

Installing Nejjis plugin and changing webcam path to. "/hls/stream.m3u8" got it visible.

Doesn't seem to use the camera settings resolution and framerate from octopi.txt
So output is only 800x600

Is there a different location to configure this streamer?

I confirmed the stream was H.264, but it still seems quite bandwidth heavy for a 800x600 stream : 2.5Mb
Also, not sure why, but the network light seems a lot busier and cpu usage seems to be at 90% on a pi4

any thoughts?

@beegmouse it looks like the framerate and resolution is hard coded in the service configured to stream HLS here. This is why you can't overwrite/effect the settings via octopi.txt.

This might be a noob comment.

Will editing /etc/systemd/system/ffmpeg_HLS.service and then restarting the service work?
Or is this something which is set once during install?

I'm not sure what you meant by "hard coded"

Edit (I tried it, it didn't change anything)

I'm trying the 0.18.0 RC2 out in an attempt to get a Logitech StreamCam to work with HLS. I feel quite stupid since I can't find any clues on what configuration is needed to get this going. It would be awesome to have an instruction including the steps.
I have uncommented camera_streamer=hls and rebooted.
I get connection refused at http://octopi.local:8051/hls/stream.m3u8.
Any suggestions to what I can do more to make it work?

Thanks :)

Try removing the port ":8051" from the address.

Is there a documentation somewhere? Worth linking here or writing it. Either in the README or wiki

http://octopi.local:8051/hls/stream.m3u8.

I just started a big print, so I'll not fiddle too much with it.

However, removing the port turned out to be a promising thing. Navigating to http://octopi.local/hls/stream.m3u8 with Chrome downloads a file called stream.m3u8 with the following contents:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=245760,RESOLUTION=320x240
240p/stream.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=1294336,RESOLUTION=640x480
480p/stream.m3u8

I'm hoping this is good and I'll let you know when I can investigate a bit more after the print.
