Hey guys,
I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction to make this work.
I have a 3d printer, its in the basement so i monitor it remotely via a webcam stream/octoprint, i currently use the multicam addon to see the webcam stream.
what i want to do is make an octoprint addon that will display the webcam stream, and overlay print stats (time to completion etc)
I'm not a python dev and in over my head a little so some help would be greatly appreciated, i cant seem to find what i need from searching.
i think can hack up multicams existing code for the picture, and i can figure out how to retrieve the data and build the strings using json or something, but what call would i need to overlay the text on the picture?
thanks so much for the help!
