Clarify with examples of some popular webcams

[jvandervyver]

Hi

I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding this project.

Perhaps I can clarify what my expectations were:
I'm wanting to stream something like 1080p from a Logitech C930e at a more realistic frame rate like 30fps.
Using just the RPI you would run into 1 of two situations when you attempt that

1. You stream JPEG files which has an insane data rate and thus kills the RPI network
2. You encode it to a format like H.264/H.265 etc. and save on data rate but kill the CPU

My understanding of this project is, you can do 2 without killing the CPU.

However when I configure a Logitech C930e I just get worse performance than simply using mjpg-streamer, the latency goes way up on the image. It is basically lagging seconds behind.

My ask is, is it possible to perhaps clarify the goal of the project and provide some examples, especially for the popular webcams. I realise you did this to an extent with the Raspberry Pi cam, but you seem to also own a Logitech C930e (or similar) but I don't see any examples that motivate this project to me at all.

OFC, you can simply just ignore me and I'm sure many others will still continue using your project but as it stands now I think your adoption could be significantly improved, in for example, the 3d printer space if some of the above becomes possible (point 2 above specifically)
