@DJ, I have checked and this update solves the issue with pi camera.
I have not tested it deeply (I will do it tomorrow), but it seems stable and with a good performance.

Thanks.

OK, I think I spoke too soon.
When I thought I tested the new version yesterday, I was in fact still on the old one (2019.12.20): for a strange reason, when I remove the old version and extract the new one, if I don't close and reopen the terminal window where i launch ARC, it launches the old one...

Anyway, the new release don't solve the picamera issue: still no video stream.
It also adds a new issue: when it launches for the fist time (after removing old "EZ-BuilderPi" and "EZ-Builder" folder), it opens without any error. But on the second launch, I have the following error:

Version: 2020.01.04.00

System.Net.WebException: The operation has timed out.

I need to remove the "EZ-Builder" folder for ARC to launch again without error, but I have to do it every time...

@DJ, with this version, ARC freezes each time I try to connect to the picamera (whatever the server, EZBpi or Blueberry).
Here is the content of the terminal of ARC when it happens:

Yeah... that's what i figured. The way mono handles the GDI and its memory pointer is not like Windows. The camera engine will have to be written to accommodate the issues with mono...
