Hi,

Just wanted to let you know your software is awesome =) Unfortunately it does not work on 64bit OS, but that's because of raspivid not being 64bit compatible. If I come up with any ideas for improvements I'll let you know.

I actually have a question about the installation..

108 packages are looking for funding
  run "npm fund" for details

found 12 vulnerabilities (5 moderate, 7 high)
  run "npm audit fix" to fix them, or "npm audit" for details

Am I supposed to ignore these messages, or am I supposed to run them?

Hey swekley, thanks a lot for your comment.

Yeah, maybe they will add the support for MMAL (raspiVid / raspiStill) in an upcoming release. At the moment, only V4L2 is working on the 64bit version. I like raspivid and raspistill because it works out of the box, but maybe I should give the V4L2 another try.

I assume you build the packages on your own using npm install right? First of all, you could also use the prebuild version using the download link and extract it on your raspberry pi. In the installation guide, there are two options - download the latest release or build it on your own. Depending on your raspberry pi, the npm install takes quite a while, so you could download the package and extract it on your raspberry pi.

npm (node package manager) is a software registry that downloads and extracts the open-source dependencies. Some package maintainers look for funding, and some have vulnerabilities (e.g. potential security issues). This shouldn't be a big issue since the raspberry is running in your local network and is not accessible from the outside. I update the packages from time to time, but I was busy the last few months. You don't have to run anything. I will fix it in the next version.

I updated the packages and created a new release. There are no major updates, so no need to update immediately. I also adjusted the installation section in the readme. https://github.com/Lillifee/raspiCam#install-raspicam

Thanks a lot and let me know if you have any problems, ideas, or further questions.
