Adding a pi powered 8 inch monitor to BI via ssh

[Pandemic]

Alright, here we go.

I've got 2 Annke C800's connected to BI on a dedicated machine. I followed a crosstalk solutions video on how to configure an 8 inch monitor powered by a raspberry pi. It uses displaycameras 0.8.3.3 to display the sub-feed from the cameras.

The issue I've encountered is that the pi can't decode H265 from the cameras and the MJPEG sub-feed looks like hot garbage.

Is there a way to configure BI to decode H265 and feed H264 to the pi?

Can you use the Pi to view the UI3 page?

Consider the below URL to stream a selected cam from BI using .H264:

http://BI-Server-IP:BI-Server-Port/h264/Cam-ShortName/temp.h264

That URL and more can be found in BI's "Help" under "Administration" => "HTTP Interface" => "Direct image and video requests"

EDIT: you stated that "...the MJPEG sub-feed looks like hot garbage. " Any reason you cannot use the mainstream for MJPEG vs. the "sub-feed" (substream) ?
Example URL:

http://BI-server-IP:BI-port/mjpg/camera-shortname/video.mjpg

I should be able to but I'll have to set up XRDP to get it on screen after reboots or moving locations.

I was going the RTSP route because displaycameras can run as a service so it will automatically post after powering off, etc.
