Please help me! I cant get cameras to work/record simultaneously. They work when I pause one camera and play the other camera. But not at the same time. Im running version 0.8.27.

Im runnning OV4869 sensor cameras and I have moved around the USB connection to various ports.  I even tried to plug them into usb 3.0 ports. Still doens't work.

Am I missing something easy?

I have two OV4869 cameras simultaneously working, but running beta 0.9.3. You could try this version, too?

Usually when cameras works independently but not simultaneously it's a USB issue. They either want to draw more current than possible or want more bandwidth than available.

It's not that easy to diagnose, sometimes all the ports on a laptop end up in a single USB root hub. There is a tool called USB tree view or that let you see the USB hierarchy and which ports ultimately end up in the same root hub and have to share resources. https://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbtreeview_e.html
