After months of only showing one camera, today my Moonraker is showing the second camera instead
So I have 2 webcams on my rig. Only ever was able to get one to display at a time as the second one would never show up. For months, I just lef the second one one there, unplugged. Last week, I accidentaly plugged the second webcam back in following some changes. Today, when I booted up the OS, I see that both cameras are now showing red lights indicating they are both powered on, and I am seeing the image form camera 2 instead of the habitual camera 1.
What do I need to do to enable the other camera as a second view? I noticed that V2 of the RatOS now has Crowsnest running as default.

Thanks for answering. I don't think I quite understood though. This is my crowsnest cfg file:
I tried going to http://vcore3.local/webcam/?action=stream and it works. I see the current webcam stream.
As soon as I try going to http://vcore3.local:8080/webcam/?action=stream, it fails.
You have the same device for both cameras there
I tried identifying the second one using ls:
Whatever i put in on the second one doesn't seem to make a difference.
unplug one and see what is different when you run that command. That will tell you which cam is which
I'll give it a go.
Thanks guys. In the end it ended up being the ports. I didn't seem to needs them:
As soon as I removed them and tried the crowsnest cfg file again, it started to work.
but now you're on 8080 and dev/video0 and 8081 and dev/video2
