I am waiting to my THETA Z1 device and investigating documentation till the device will come. And there is a questions which answer I didn’t find and can’t test with real device yet.
In Plugin development page mentioned that we can use Web API from plugin, if we are not using Camera API. But there is no mention about the external access with Web API. Is the Web API available for external services when the camera runs plugin which uses Camera API?
And if yes what will happen if both will try to use camera device?
You cannot use the WebAPI and the CameraAPI at the same time. You most close the WebAPI to access the CameraAPI. If you try at the same time, it will just not respond. The camera shouldn’t crash. You can switch back and forth between the CameraAPI and the WebAPI by closing the processes. There are many examples on GitHub.
