Is it possible to run it without a sd card?

[Alissonsz]

Hey!! Amazing project here and could make it work with no troubles.

I realized it required a SD card to run, right? I'd like to ask if it's possible to run the firmware with no sd card, my idea is to use it for an esp based fpv drone, so I'd need only the live stream feature.

in appGlobals.h add line #define NO_SD

I tried this with a XIAO ESP32S3 Sense, and added #define NO_SD around line 142 of appGlobals.h, right before the #ifdef NO_SD. I get a crash loop detected each time the ESP32 starts. The web server shows "Startup Failure: Crash loop detected, check log, with the options to Check log and Reboot ESP after fix. The Check log works, showing the log printout. The serial monitor shows the following:

Is there something else that needs to be modified? Again, great project! Love the functionality! Sorry for the dum questions.
