[FR] Multiple webcam support

[laurensguijt]

A while back I added a second nozzle camera to my octoprint server. Would it be a cool feature to display both webcams at the same time? Something like the picture underneath or a separate webcam tab with both streams.

Added to the to-do list 💪

this would be awesome. Or even just an option to control the stream input of webcam widget separate from the main cam view in the center.

how to do you get the second stream to show up in only one area of the ui layout? when I switch between cameras now with this plug-in it switches in both places.

Unfortunately, you can only see one camera at a time, but you can select which webcam on the Control tab, and that propagates to the smaller Webcam in the UI

@LazeMSS How far is it to have a solution for the request multiple streams at one time in separate windows?

I won't be implementing - its very difficult basically the entire webcam logic has been rewritten in 1.9 and its based around a single webcam logic. If i was to implement a multiple streams at once I would have to clone the entire webcam logic etc.
