Plugin that reencodes the mjpg stream provided by octopi/mjpgstreamer/yawcam and posts to any RTMP stream server (ie Twitch) and adds a tab that will allow for wathing configured stream assuming there is a webpage url that allows that type of connection.

RTMP Streamer

Plugin that adds a tab to OctoPrint for viewing, starting, and stopping a re-encoded stream to any RTMP server. Only tested with Twitch.

Notes:

  • Plugin requires that OctoPrint’s webcam stream uses a full url path including the ip address, ie http://192.168.1.2/webcam/?action=stream
  • Only tested streaming to Twitch from a Pi3.
  • Plugin does not provide a streaming application, it just re-encodes the mjpg stream (included with ocotpi) to a flv stream and transmits to configured RTMP server url.
  • Although resolution is configurable in the plugin, the mjpg input stream being re-encoded may have a lower resolution and therefore not really be as high as you set it in the plugin settings.
