Couple of requests

So after a foray with octoprint I came back and bought a license.  Currently I have 2 printers and I am printing the parts for a mpcnc so managing multiple items was a huge selling point.  Can you perhaps add the webcam view to repetier-host so I can use it as a standard front end and switch between machines and monitor quickly?

The only other thing I would love,  when you change the view to show the machine name there's a edit button to change the name.  Could that just pull from printer settings and then be a drop down to swap between machines quickly?  I know I can pull up several browser windows to view the video and repetier even has a click here to open web host  but these additions would streamline the host/server experience.

    Do you also know that server homescreen allows viewing all webcams in parallel since 0.80.3?

    The name changes automatically if you connect to a different printer. The connect button has such a dropdown on the right side to show alternateve printers that will also change that name unless you have edited it manually.

    Webcam suppoer - we will see if that works.

    What if your running multiple dedicated servers?  I prefer a dedicated PI to each printer.  Do they talk to each other and put them together?  Still ironing out going back to repetier on the first printer so I haven't loaded the 2nd printer/pi up yet.

    No, every server shows only printers local to them as the webfrontend only queries one server. Only for computations you can use other available servers, but no exchange of printer data.

    That's what I had figured,  have both PI's running like a champ now.  The new installer made it pretty simple.
