Fluidd offers robust support for displaying camera streams, providing users with real-time monitoring capabilities for their 3D printing projects.

The current supported types are:

  • MJPEG Stream
    • Traditional mjpegstream/ustreamer service.
    • Pushes images to Fluidd at the configured resolution and FPS.
    • Requires substantial bandwidth and may encounter issues with unstable network connections.
  • MJPEG Adaptive
    • Pulls images from the mjpegstream/ustreamer service using the snapshot URL.
    • Allows setting a target FPS, enabling your browser to maintain the intended frame rate.
    • A more reliable approach in certain scenarios.
  • HLS Stream
    • Loads an HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) video stream via HLS.js.
    • Utilizes HTML5 video and MediaSource Extensions for playback, requiring a modern browser.
  • WebRTC (camera-streamer)
    • A highly bandwidth-efficient stream type.
    • IMPORTANT: Currently only available on Raspberry devices.
  • WebRTC (go2rtc)
    • Loads a webrtc stream from go2rtc.
    • Example stream URL: http(s)://your.domain/webrtc/stream.html?src=trident&mode=webrtc
  • IP Camera
    • Experimental option replacing the <img> tag with a <video> tag.
    • Use only if your provided URL supports native HTML5 video tags.
  • HTTP Page
    • Loads a website, displaying it in place of the camera feed.
    • Allows embedding any web video feed not supported by the aforementioned methods.
