First of all, thank you for all the hard work. I have found v4l2rtspserver to be a very useful tool. I'm running it on RPi-3B with Logitec C920 which does hardware h264 compression and it works beautifully.
Now to my question; I have noticed that the v4l2rtspserver turns on the webcam /dev/video0 as soon as I start the server and keeps it running whether there is a client connected to it or not. The C920 is a beast and draws significant current from the raspberry pi. I am wondering if there is a way to make the server turn on the webcam only when it is actually streaming to a client.
