I've also found a few promising and "robust" third party TCP libraries, but I'm almost certain we would end up having to write our own program to encode the series of JPEG images to MJPEG video (I can't find info on this ANYWHERE). Are there any other options for streaming video through port 80 to the driver station (without creating a custom dashboard or something like that)? Thanks!
If you're trying to use the driver station to connect, it is gonna be locked down, but the dashboard isn't. If you need help programming a custom dashboard, there are white papers all over the internet that can help or you can post in NI Labview!

If you're completely shut down to the custom dashboard idea, you can try writing a seperate program that you can run on the driver computer that only gets what you need from the stream, but I don't think it would be easily integrated into driver-side vision processing.
