Web config interface for Raspberry PI Camplayer: https://github.com/raspicamplayer/camplayer

Originally, camplayer can only be configured via an ini config file which is a little tedious. This provides a friendly UI to add, edit and delete video channels, with templates for most common IP camera brands (hikvision and dahua).

Access at http://<rpi-ip>:8080 (rpi-ip could be localhost or 192.168.1.xxx depending on where you want to access it from)

• Install camplayer according to repo: https://github.com/raspicamplayer/camplayer
• While the streamlit server could work pretty much anywhere*, it's only useful where camplayer itself is installed - which only works on Raspbian OS due to omxplayer dependency on the specific Broadcom GPU.
• Working python3 installation.

* As of writing this, streamlit can't run as-is on arm32v7 / armhf architecture (such as raspberry pi 3) because it depends on pyarrow which is virtually impossible to compile on this arch. However, pyarrow is not (yet) a hard dependency of streamlit, therefore we can use a clever trick and mock it. This is achieved by installing all streamlit dependencies except pyarrow, and then do some magic to avoid failing the import of pyarrow. See src/streamlit_no_pyarrow.py for details.

• git clone https://github.com/dorinclisu/camplayer_streamlit.git
• cd camplayer_streamlit && sudo ./install.sh

• Basic authentication
• Threading locks (when saving config files)
