Does anyone on here live stream their printer camera feed on octoprint?
Yes @Ax_Smith-Laffin always has fantastic prints going. http://printers.sledz-uk.co.uk/
Aye there’s usually at least one printer running…
How do you stream yours outside of your network?
There must be 2 running at all times!!!
You can use Octoprint and port forwarding. I’m guessing Ax just uses an IP cam though.
@Noel_Kuck well i signed up. Twice. It then prompts me to go to another page to make my own surveys? O.o
All the time
I’ve been thinking this would be a useful feature for BotQueue 2.0 for a while, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone ask for a live steam of another’s printer.
I’m curious, what do you enjoy about watching another printer? Do you have your own?
Lol yes i have a Prusa i3 MK2S and i dont wanna watch someone else’s i wanna stream my own but idk how. I can get shots from the telegram plugin but i want live stream outside my network. I just need the stream i dont need to have any controls i can do that through telegram
@Cristian_Martinez - the simplest way as stated above is to use the octoprint anywhere plugin. However my setup still uses octoprint, but this has been active way before that plugin.
If you don’t want to use the plugin, you’ll need to forward port 8080 on your router, you can use a straight forward or a port trigger which maps an external port, say port 80 (http) to 8080. You will also need to make sure your Octoprint server has a static IP. You’ll also need something to point DNS to your external IP, something like NoIP Dynamic DNS will do the trick. Once that’s set up you can just use the url you’ve chosen to access it. IE http://myurl.com:8080
My setup is a bit more complicated, though, as I have 3 webcams, 2 are usually active, on 3 different machines (2 Pis, 1 HTPC, all run Octoprint, with the HTPC running 3 Octoprint instances), the HTPC also runs an Apache2 web server and HAProxy as a front end to Apache2. Basically what you’re seeing with mine is a Web page Served by Apache2 with HAProxy making it look like all the webcams are connected to one machine.
Don’t worry if you can’t understand my setup, I’m an ex IT Web Hosting SysEng and as such it’s easy enough for me to set things like this up. If you just want the stream the port forward/triggering method is easiest.
I know someone that uses Twitch to broadcast printing. There’s a Google Hangout where people have tried just having printing streams, but I haven’t visited it lately.
@Ax_Smith-Laffin yeah i got like half of that lol. I guess ill read up on port forwarding. Thanx! 
He did say the simplest way was to use the plugin. I don’t need to see the live stream, I just use Telegram for periodic snapshots.
Yeah im using Blynk to control some servos that i plan to use to move my camera around. And i can also live stream video to the app but i need the URL address and i need it outside of my network since im rarely home
@Adam_Steinmark ok i kept getting an error with the first link. I got the second one to work and im all signed up now but im not home to test it out lol
