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.
As new plugins are discovered that causes issues with MultiCam, they will be listed below. Please disable, or uninstall these plugins or you may experience some issues. Thank you
- WebcamTab - MultiCam bind to the Control Tab, WebcamTab moves your webcam to another tab, breaking a few things. This may be fixed in the future if there seems to be enough support to warrent it.
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
