Multiple Stream Viewers

[p-moran-gd]

G'day,

Just wondering if there is anyway to have multiple people view the stream at once. As it currently stands, only one person/view at a time is supported. Once one closes the next person who asked for the stream gets it and so on.
Anyway to have the stream loaded, and simply viewed, so multiple people can see the same thing?

You may take a look at the multi-stream branch: https://github.com/easytarget/esp32-cam-webserver/tree/multi-stream
I've implemented the feature months ago, but unfortunaly, it's still not merged into the main branch.

You can just switch to the branch and build it including your myconfig.h.

i clone multi-stream branch, and config the myconfig.h but when i compile the program i have these errors
httpd_socket_send' was not declared in this scope
and error: 'CAMERA_GRAB_LATEST' was not declared in this scope
do you have the solution ?

[daschr]

How do you build the project? Seems like some headers are outdated.
Using platformio (pio run and pio run -t upload) should work.

i use Arduino IDE and i have this same "CAMERA_GRAB_LATEST' was not declared in this scope" on the main branch
i will try with platformio

[Zigouille22]

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
*** [.pio\build\esp32dev\firmware.elf] Error 1
now i have this error when i compil the file
and there is this message in the platformio file:

@daschr, Hello i clone the multi-stream branch but It appears that only one person can access the stream at the same time. Is there anything to change in a config to fix this ?

Sorry; I am not doing any further development on this project. it is old code and somewhat obsolete. I am currently working on retiring it; I will try to link to a more actively updated fork when I do.
