Does it work with USB cameras? It would be great if it can just interface with /dev/video0 for example.

Check out https://github.com/pion/mediadevices it’s an attempt to make that way easier

Thanks for sharing that! How I usually do it involves manual work by using gatreamer with usb source and into rtp or even sink it to udp port, I will check this out!

> Capture camera stream, encode it in H264/VP8/VP9, and send it to a RTP server

It says here few encodings but below it’s only h264 package, for others I would have to write my own package I assume? Also, any AV1 support if hw allow it?
