I also wanted this for my P1S because the camera sucks, so I took a shot at it. It started simple with hardcoded custom URL, and then it got hard when I needed to start thinking about the UX stuff :) Anyways here is my fork:

That's awesome! I'd love to contribute anyway possible! Unfortunately I
don't have coding experience lol. But I can help with any sort of testing
etc.

I use Raspberry Pi camera with camera-streamer
<https://github.com/ayufan/camera-streamer> and the http://
<ip>:<port>/video.mp4 at least works. If you want to test this out, you
can use any URL to an mp4 file for example from here

Would be very helpful if you test it out and report experiences! |

Excuse my ignorance, but with your fork, how would I get it? Do I have to
compile myself or do I download it as a zip?

I put a link to the build artifacts in the end. For example for Windows, download the OrcaSlicer_Windows_V1.9.0-dev and unzip and install. I haven't tested those artifacts myself tbh but it's the same forked build workflow as SoftFever uses so I assume they work heh |

Appreciate it! I don't have any real coding experience and my experience on
github has been limited to downloading pre existing stuff lol.

Absolutely! I don't even have the camera URL input and I think
its beautiful! lol! Been dying to get a custom feed in there! Because I
want to use like an old phone or a pi as an IP camera

Having a hair bit of trouble getting a URL to work. What kind of URL should
I use? RTSP? Another kind? I'm using the ip webcam app on android and none
of those urls seem to work.

I'm not sure of the capabilities of wxMediaCtrl or the backend it is using. I tried MJPEG and RTSP streams and they did not work. Maybe it needs to be a h264 stream on HTTP server. I can look into it more. Single frames from IP Webcam work (like |

Niiiice! I'm getting email updates from this thread so I'll know when you
or anyone else posts here and I'll test accordingly

/video endpoint for example) that also greatly simplifies many other
things: using WebView instead of wxMediaCtrl. I'll work on that on the
weekend so stay tuned hehe

New iteration on new branch https://github.com/stuomas/OrcaSlicer/tree/custom-camera-source-webview Supports also MJPEG stream from android's IP Webcam app ( Also the URL and enable/disable status is persisted and restored when program starts. Still small bug that upon starting the program with persisted URL, the javascript that removes the video controls/scrollbars does not work, only works when changing source manually🤔 |

@mysticprysm I think I fixed issue with controls/scrollbars, new build is in progress here: https://github.com/stuomas/OrcaSlicer/actions/runs/7292485309 I will continue after vacations, merry Christmas! |

I can't imagine it would be too difficult to add the function to input a custom stream address into the video player section? Would be great for those of us wanting to monitor our prints with our custom cameras. And then maybe later adding functionality to do basic in app timelapses of sorts. I'd absolutely be willing to learn if anyone would be willing to walk through the code with me.
