      Hi!
      Type B camera out of the box, Vlc 3.0.6
      http://192.168.4.1 works in browser.
      http://192.168.4.1/jpg works to get a still image in vlc.

      http://192.168.4.1/jpg_stream contrary to suggestions does not work in vlc.

      Wrong url or do i need to set some vlc parameters?

        Ok so it seems that Vlc will never be able to decode the http stream as it's not really a stream just consecutive jpeg images.
        So I turned to rtsp instead and the micro-rtsp project.
        I used the instructions here mgo-tech.com, to install Arduino IDE and ESP plugin (translated by google), take care to use correct pin mapping, I used that instruction as it is for M5Camera type b the same as I have.
        Tried the CameraWebServer also, much nicer then the original software.

        Followed instructions here hackster.io to get a http/rtsp server. Worked fine except the picture was the wrong way around for my application so I copied a few lines from the CamereaWebServer example to flip it vertical and Horisontal and lowered resolution to vga.
        Works fine with Vlc but a bit more sensetive to fast movement then the http stream.

        Why may you ask? Vlc got recording and is easily implemented in my project.
