OctoPrint MultiCam

Extents the Control tab to include a webcam section with buttons that you can configure in the settings to switch between multiple webcam feeds.

Future updates will include the more options to show different types of streams, as well as the abilitly to show more than one stream at a time.

Setup

Install via the bundled Plugin Manager or manually using this URL:

https://github.com/mikedmor/OctoPrint_MultiCam/archive/master.zip

It is recommended to setup a second RPi (potentially with MotionEyeOS) to setup webcams from. Attaching more than one webcam to your octoprint device could result in high proccess use causing issues with your prints. You may also have to invest in a usb hub to power your webcams as RPi's tend to have low voltage issues when they are plugged in directly to the RPi. This Link has a good list of USB hubs that are support by Raspberry.

Developers note

DEPRECIATED: Other plugin developers could read the camera profiles with the OctoPrint-Helper functionality like this:

helpers = self._plugin_manager.get_helpers("multicam")
if helpers and "get_webcam_profiles" in helpers:
    self.camProfiles = helpers["get_webcam_profiles"]()

But keep in mind that you will receive a copy of the current camera profiles!

NOTE: These helper functions have been removed in version 0.4.0, instead it is now recommended to rely on the webcams plugin in Octoprint
