connecting more than 1 iPhone/iPad fails #255

Describe the bug starting more than one instance of droidcam results in mapping all on the same v4l2loopback_dc-000. Result is, that the output is flickering between both sources. (Didn't check audio assignment, though) This is the case for USB and WiFi (and on different ports)

Expected behavior Registering more than one device correctly.

Additional context Nice to have would be a feature to assign resolutions separately for each device.

Multiple devices in parallel aren't supported (and not planned), though on Linux you can make it work by loading multiple v4l2loopback devices and then specifying a device to each instance of the client:

droidcam -dev=/dev/video2 -size=1280x720 ...
droidcam-cli -dev=/dev/video3 -size=1280x720 ...
