Right now I have the PiCam conected to a Pi4 which then uses RPICAM to generate a HDMI output of the PiCam input. I then convert this HDMI to USB with a USB stick capture card, feed that to another Pi running OBS which then implements a application provided specialized s\toring and streaming.

Please help me simplify this - I need a way to more directly feed a PiCam into a Pi running OBS. I have not been able to get V4l2 inputs to work nor a 'stream to oneself' solution I thouht of.

What is conventional hee?
