ESP32 as an Access Point Web Server – Limitations on File Size

Tony Douglas asked 4 years ago

I have successfully built your project to create an access point web server and it works well with small files from an SD card.  However, it is very slow when serving larger files and fails completely when asked to handle a small mp4 video. Am I expecting too much of an ESP32 & should I be looking at a Raspberry Pi or similar for this job?

Hi Tony.
I never experimented with handling video in that way.
There must be a better way to handle video. But I’m not familiar with that.
But I guess it might be too much for the ESP32. A RPi to handle video is probably a better option.
Regards,
Sara
