-### 32-bit: aiortc / libvpx mismatch

-| **1.1.0** | Bookworm + Python 3.11. The **stable image is 32-bit** (`armv7l`) on every Pi model; 64-bit is nightly-only. v0.1.7 supports both. |
-| **1.0.x** | Bullseye + Python 3.9 -- below the 3.10 minimum. Upgrade to 1.1.0. |
-| **Pre-1.0** | Older base. Upgrade. |
-
-### 32-bit: aiortc / libvpx mismatch
-
-On some 32-bit images the piwheels `aiortc` wheel is built against a newer `libvpx` than the OS ships, so `octoprint.log` shows `BitBang video stack unavailable: libvpx.so.9: cannot open shared object file`. Install the codec dev headers and rebuild aiortc against the system libvpx (in your OctoPrint venv):
-
-```bash
-sudo apt install -y libvpx-dev libopus-dev
-pip install --no-binary aiortc --force-reinstall --no-deps "aiortc<1.11"
-```
-
-### Old Python (3.9 or earlier)
+Skip this if [Installation](#installation) worked.
 
-`av` wheels start at Python 3.10, so OctoPi 1.0.x (Python 3.9) has no usable wheel -- upgrade the image to 1.1.0.
+The video stack is `av` ([PyAV](https://github.com/PyAV-Org/PyAV)) + `aiortc`, pulled in as wheels, and needs **Python 3.10+** — OctoPi 1.0.x (Bullseye / Python 3.9) has no usable `av` wheel, so upgrade the image to 1.1.0+. On **64-bit** (`aarch64` / `x86_64`) the PyPI wheels bundle their native libraries and work as-is; **32-bit** (`armv7l`) needs the extra step in [Installation](#installation) above, because its [piwheels](https://www.piwheels.org/) wheels link newer system libraries than Bookworm ships.
