I suggest to add a Content-Length header to the mpjpeg output. This
makes it easier to parse the output, rather than relying on the
fixed boundary which, though very unlikely, could also occur within
an image. Since the size information is readily available, it's a
trivial change:

+    snprintf(buf1, sizeof(buf1),
+             "Content-type: image/jpeg\nContent-length: %i\n\n", pkt->size);
     avio_write(s->pb, buf1, strlen(buf1));
     avio_write(s->pb, pkt->data, pkt->size);
