Arducam 16mp on Pi5 with Crowsnest

[still halo]

I've been struggling for a couple of days trying to find out why I couldn't get my Arducam 16mp (IMX519) or Pi Camera Module 2 working with Mainsail and Crowsnest.

From what I can tell, it's the Pi5 that's the issue here. It doesn't seem to have the HW Encoders that the Pi4 had.

Unfortunately, I only have a Pi5 Spare right now.
I see Spyglass has been suggested as a workaround, however last time I tried spyglass, it wasn't compatible with Obico (which is exactly the reason I use the cameras).

It looks like an issue/feature request has been raised already: https://github.com/mainsail-crew/crowsnest/issues/241
However just wondering if anything supporting H.265 is possible right now?
Or any other workarounds known?

I don't know why you wrote in the issue and here

But as I wrote in the issue, this is more like an Obico issue, as Spyglass isn't doing anything special

So if you get a different mjpg stream working, you will also get spyglass working

If not, then it won't work, but Obico supports mjpg streams afaik

For help with obico, we also got the #obico channel

From what I can tell, it's the Pi5 that's the issue here
Did you maybe got that from the log?
