Describe your Idea
Modify the WebGear API to make simplejpeg an optional dependency. Instead of throwing an error when simplejpeg is not available, the API should disable or discard performance-enhancing features related to frame compression.
Use Cases
Currently, the WebGear API utilizes simplejpeg to compress frames before sending them as multipart JPEG encoded messages. This proposal suggests making simplejpeg a soft dependency, meaning that the WebGear API will still function without it by disabling or discarding the performance-enhancing features related to frame compression when simplejpeg is not installed. This ensures broader compatibility and flexibility in different environments without sacrificing core functionality.
