and thread the server_serve_forever() statement, so that the pi can simultaneously process and set the images in a global variable, perhaps a queue.

So just for clarification, there isn't much I will have to do on my end other than set up a mjpeg stream with an appropriate send port and ip address. The smart dashboard will do the rest by finding the url and grabbing the images.

To be clear, while the format of the URL is what's in the src= portion above, SmartDashboard doesn't use or hit that line of code at all. SmartDashboard will try to connect to whatever URL you configure in its settings. The important line in your code is line 49, which sets up the HTTP server on a particular port.
