OctoPrint SnapStream Plugin

===========================

This plugin replaces the mjpg-streamer on the control tab with the static snapshot

image and updates it with a javascript interval timer. You can set it to only

do this if the mjpg-streamer fails.

This plugin could be useful if you're using a browser that doesn't support mjpeg

streams (IE) or if you would like to reduce bandwidth usage when accessing from

the internet perhaps.

Setup

-----

```

pip install https://github.com/MarkWal/OctoPrint-SnapStream/archive/master.zip

```

Make sure you use the same Python environment that you installed OctoPrint under

otherwise the pip install will fail because the plugin won't be able to find its

dependencies. For octopi this means:

```

source ~/oprint/bin/activate

```

before you do the pip install.

Restart OctoPrint and the octoprint.log should show the plugin was successfully

found and loaded.

This plugin uses the url's for the webcam from OctoPrint's webcam settings panel

so the snapshot url has to point to something your browser can reach.

Plugin Settings

---------------

In the settings panel under SnapStream you can choose fps (probably needs to be

something low like 1 or 2).  You can also select whether to use the snapshot

mode all the time or only when the mjpg stream fails.
