Maybe I'm wrong here, but I think he's saying the motion live feed video
output, which I think is a mjpeg stream. Would be nice to have motion pass
through the rtsp if it could or possibly even encode in rtsp itself for the
live feeds.

My 2 cents:
Streaming rtsp is an entirely different beast from serving webpages and
mjpeg-"streaming".
I see neither as motion's job.
The best streaming quality and picture quality will come from accessing the
original source, if your device can handle it. I'd try to accomplish that
(using tcp/rtsp proxies or port forwarding) before trying to transcode.
Kind regards,
J

Hi Mike,
Yes, it?s exactly what I?m trying to do: a motion live feed mjpeg video
output. ActionTiles and Fully Kiosk has a nice way to gather all security
mjpeg video feeds and display along with all your smart home light switches
and home speakers. So, I can see and control everything on the tablet on
the wall. But it?s not scalable to have close to 300Mbps stream to the
tablet over Wifi if I cannot scale down each Mjpeg stream and if I want to
put more tablets on the wall in other bedrooms or hallway. If I have 3
tablets in the house, that would be close to 1Gbps data over WiFi, I think
it?s overkill and not a long term scalable solution. I just tested Blue
Iris, they have something really cool using Apple HAL, and can get each
stream down to 300Kbps yet still very clear video quality. Chrome can
handle nicely without spiking the CPU. Unfortunately, ActionTiles doesn?t
support HAL.
