MJPEG is good, but keep in mind that Chrome doesn't support playback of MJPEG streams as a main resource, it has to be in an <img> tag.

Looks like that functionality used to be there, was broken, fixed, and then broken again sometime later. The latest bug for it appears to be https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=308999

For this application you'd need it to be in an <img> tag anyway since there's the other stuff on the page too, so that's a moot point.

Not only <img>. The MJPEG stream could theoretically be embedded in an <iframe>, thus being affected by this bug.
