[mythtv-users] Zoneminder Camera Switching

[Tom Gutwin]

Thanks for the answers...
This can be put on the back burner if you want. It is not crucial to me.
Work on your priorities 1st.

BTW, my cameras are different resolutions as you surmised.
1 and 3 are the same resolution and 2 and 4 are different (even from each other).

Thanks for the plugin.  If you ever need help testing or debugging something I can help.
