Python script to stream a camera to a webpage to be used in Garrys Mod

Requirements

I've only tested this on Windows 10 with Python 3.13

Setup

1. Install requirements

   Use pip install -r requirements.txt to install required packages

2. Configure

   Using cv2-enumerate-cameras (run pip install cv2-enumerate-cameras and then py -m cv2_enumerate_cameras), take the index of the camera you want to use and set it in the config.yaml file.

   Set the resolution you want to use (make sure it is supported by your camera)

   Set the file type and mimetype you want to use during streaming (jpeg works best)

3. Running

   With a terminal window open in the folder with server.py, run py .\server.py

   You should then be able to open http://127.0.0.1:8080 and view the live camera feed
