Option to disable camera #14

Closed wisechengyi closed 7 years ago

wisechengyi commented 7 years ago

Currently once camera is selected there does not seem to be a way to turn it off and it burns a decent portion of os resources. If you are okay with the idea, I can send out a PR.

Thanks, Yi

Hi Yi, how would you propose the change? Perhaps a button on the CameraWidget that pauses the VideoStream main loop? I'm definitely open to the idea.

wisechengyi commented 7 years ago

How about under "Devices" where it is initially setup? and add a disable button. So the place would be consistent in terms of scanning for/turning on/off some devices.

Ah I see. Sure, maybe a button next to "Scan for Cameras" that's just "Disconnect Camera" if you have a camera currently set in the settings it would simply turn it to None, and then tell the VideoStream to disconnect?
