3 years ago Is ustreamer packaged for debian (or derivatives) anywhere? and/or via a PPA/similar? Quick google suggests not, which might be a bit of a blocker for doing this...
And for reference about the benefits of it (used in other projects than just pi-kvm) - https://mtlynch.io/tinypilot/#ustreamer-a-super-fast-video-streamer

3 years ago doesn't look like debian, but arch and Docker; the latter shows the build chain, and it might be handy to start building up interoperable containers for pi4. (just my thought)
tinypilot talks about the latency win for it.

3 years ago I imagine it might not be too hard to find a Debian Developer to help get it in for a future release (and then backporting probably becomes a bit easier)...
I just noticed https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer#building

2 years ago Nice, so I guess we could look in to adding it in the next release. If anyone wants to try and make a PR that could speed things up
Working on a project to automate my garage door I found that I was able to get better streaming with less CPU usage using ustreamer instead of mjpg_streamer. Just thought I'd pass that along, as it leaves more CPU free for other functions.
