1 year ago Yep, README is outdated and we have to update it. ImageBytes transfer mode is already implemented.
Also if there is anything we can do to help with, or make provisions for, cross-compatibility between INDI and Alpaca, please engage at the ASCOM Driver and Application Development Support Forum on Groups.io.
As far as Alpaca Bridge is an INDIGO agent, it will never work with INDI, just with INDIGO.

I noticed this on the alpaca_bridge README under Selecting "Image array transfer transfer method". In 2019, the new ImageBytes image transfer method was introduced and was made a standard part of ASCOM Platform 6.6 in January 2022 (a year ago not just now). You might want to revise the README to select ImageBytes as the preferred method. We're hoping those older transfer schemes will simply go away. All of the COM and Alpaca bits, the Alpaca Omni Simulator, and the Conforn Universal tools, as well as the Python Alpyca package use ImageBytes by default.
