Delay Cameras when loading OBS Studio

[OZtwo]

I have been using OBS Studio 20.1.3 for a while now for non-gaming streaming and am loving every day of it. This is one fine peace of software you have here!!

The only issue I really have been having is with the loading of the application. I'm currently using 3 web cameras (soon to be 4) and the only real issue I have when loading the application is that it seems to start all 4 web cameras up at the same time which will cause issues where they all needed to be deactivated and then activated slowly one at a time.

To get around this issue I have been trying to remember to deactivate the cameras before exiting the application but 99% of the time I forget.

To fix this issue I would guess all that would need to be done is add a load delay for each camera if more than one is being used at any given time.

Thank you and KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

I'm confused, why do you need to activate them one at a time? Activating all sources when the program loads sounds like intended behavior to me.

Yes but doing so causes an error with the images. Sorry, I guess I'm to new to upload an image to show you. But when testing it now I only got 2 of 4 cameras to load with the 3rd one being a green lined image and the 4th not even showing. Also my second camera screen size is messed up. To fix the issue I have to deactivate them and reactive one by one.

Here is an example of what the issue is with the Logitech cameras all loading at the same time. I had to deactivate them all and re-activate them one at a time to fix the issue. I'm guessing if there was a delay in loading each one this would not be an issue if one is using all cameras at once.

And you may notice I missed a great shot of the Hummingbird attacking camera #3 :)
