Im wondering if there is any apps that i can host a webcam server on? I have octoprint setup for my printer. It requries a link for a webcam.

Based on the available information, I am unable to fully understand your question. Could you please provide the models of the printer and camera?

you might want to look at the video surveilance app, but im not sure thats really what you after

ive looked at the octoprint webpage so think i understand what you are after, so i assume you want to plug a USB web cam into a USB port on the NAS drive, run some software with will then give you a URL feed to view that camera from anywhere on the network / routed through the internet to view the feed

a bit like you could with windows media player if you enabled streaming services on a windows PC, so i guess one option is to run a windows VM and do this, but there has to be a better way i guess

For latest TOS6, you can use https://tmnascommunity.eu/download/surveillancemotion/ together with https://tmnascommunity.eu/download/webcamdrivers/

Thank you for your help. I have the surfveillancemotion running with the webcam driver. I am able to connect the camera but no image is displayed! I was thinking ffmpg was out of date maybe.
