All available streams created as default

[TheDukeSr]

Current setup:
When adding a camera you have to choose what stream you want (main, sub, both).
My camera has 2 sub streams, and the 2nd has other resolution options then the 1st, so I use them both for diffrent scenarios.

2 problems:
A. The 2nd Substream is not available at all (for other cams maybe even 4 streams?).
B. When changing/adding a scenario, I have to remove/re-add the camera to enable or disable (sub)streams.

Possible solution
Allways create all available streams as entity.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but as long you just make a stream available in the config this will not cost any extra overhead as long it is not used in streaming?
For streams that have no activity, those can be created as DISabled entities automaticly when cam is added.
Or...
Show all possible streams as option to user to enable/disable when cam added (as select list/tick boxes), and create entities as disabled when not tagged by user.

Whatever option is choosen, at least create all cam streams as entitie so they can be enabled/disabled with a click of the mouse.
I've seen other Integrations create some disabled entities by default. So should be possible.

And for trigger entities the same request (see issue #38 ), so this whole integration works the same for streams as entity triggers.

May i ask what is the status of this feature request? Thanks

I can't find a way to figure out the available streams. If I could find the available streams then I could add this. I'll do more digging today on this.

Looks like I can use /cgi-bin/magicBox.cgi?action=getProductDefinition&name=MaxExtraStream to get the max number of substreams. Still trying to figure out how to know if the stream is enabled or not. I guess I could just add support for all streams, regardless if it is enabled or not. I'll give that a try.
