Live streaming the borehole camera to LAN

@SimonB That is something we would like to implement long term.

It seems like the option are:

  • Direct / Peer-to-peer streaming: Won’t work at many schools (which is a large portion of our user base) due to port blockage. This might also be a performance issue for Express users that are on an RPi0.
  • Make the web app a media server: Will work at most enterprises but will require some significant changes to how our server is architected.

If anyone has ideas that:

  • Will work well in fire walled environments like schools
  • Will scale to a large device count on one server (most FarmBot users are not self hosting)
  • Will support slower Express devices.

I would be open to suggestions. This feature is still in the “idea” phase.
