Nowadays, however, the camera-streamer backend is still causing us problems since it is not compatible. KlipperScreen will also need a test and an update for it since raspberry p...

That's why we then tried to extend the docs as well as possible, and Kwadfan is still working on making the update process easier + adding better and more error messages in Crowsnest.

With the new version of Crewsnest, we added the streamer camera-streamer with WebRTC suppport and tr...
