Is there a way to run either a second instance of this addon or a way to edit this one to support more than 4 cameras?

It looks like it is  hardcoded in the addon default.py file line 39:

MAXCAMS = 4

I think you can simply change this to a bigger number and give it a shot.


Thanks,

Jeff

Hi, I am using this addon daily on all my Kodi installations with the latest Kodi versions.
I do not remember where I downloaded and how I modified the addon ( I use it since Kodi 17 ) ... but I have the addons in zip file that needs to be extracted to the "addons" folder manually, and then to be enabled in Kodi ( and complete the configuration ).
If the rules of the forum allow, I could share them from my dropbox ...

I've run into a bug when trying to fill the entire screen with 4 cameras using the square layout on a 4K display.

The righthand column pushes down a quarter of its total height (diagrammed below).

Code:

______
|     |_____
|  1  |     |
|_____|  2  |
|     |_____|
|  3  |     |
|_____|  4  |
      |_____|

I tried fiddling with the default.py file but I couldn't quite wrap my mind around the size variables and math for dividing and multiplying to correct the layout issue.

Here are the add-on's settings:

Window Width = 640
Window Height = 360
Alignment: Square: left (or right) top
Padding (in Pixels): 0
Aspect Ratio: (any)

Could anyone lend a hand in this regard? It would be much appreciated, thanks!

Simply updating the MAXCAMS number to whatever number of cameras I use in the default.py just breaks it every time.  However if I add additional category blocks in the settings.xml file of the addon, then I can get the additional configuration parameters to configure additional cameras.  However anything beyond the first 4 do not actually work correctly.  I am using script in another application to call the stream ID when motion is detected on said camera, and 1-4 will open the specific camera, 5+ will open all of the camera streams at once.  Not sure what I am missing here?

if alignment == 5: # square left
            x = int(p+(position%2) * (w + p))
            if position < 2: y = p
            if position > 1: y = p + h
