Mr-Dave
This is happening on 2 Rasberry Pis, (Rasbian Jessie, and Rasbian Jessie Lite)
ISSUE
When I use 2 web cams, only 1 picture appears on the web page that I have setup to show both port 8081 and 8082.
I have been searching Google for days now and trying everything. I still get one CAM looking fine and one CAM with a grey screen.
I am using a Logitech c170 and a Logitech c270.
I have 2 separate config files. I both CAMs work independently, when I have both setup, the one using /dev/video1 is not rendering a picture.
I am not using the CAMs to do motion capture, I would like to have 2 CAMS on one web page showing their view.
I am looking for help in getting it to work. Thank you for your help.
