Is it possible to have a page with multiple live stream cameras?

Configuration
1

I have a camera group but the page only shows snapshots and I have to open each individual camera to see the live stream. Is it possible to have several live streams on one page?

I guess I could spin up a web server and just build a page to view but it would be nice to let HA do it if it is possible.

I have a page showing four live cameras that give me an update on each approx every 10 seconds using the following example cameras.yaml entries:

- platform: mjpeg
  mjpeg_url: http://192.168.1.201:13101/videostream.cgi?user=admin&pwd=xxxxxxxx
  still_image_url: http://192.168.1.201:13101/mjpeg/snap.cgi
  username: admin
  password: xxxxxxxx
  authentication: digest
  name: 406_west

Groups.yaml entry is:

exterior_view:
  name: Exterior
  view: yes
  entities:
    - group.exterior_view_406_north
    - group.exterior_view_406_east
    - group.exterior_view_406_south
    - group.exterior_view_406_west
 
exterior_view_406_north:
  view: no
  entities:
    - camera.406_north

exterior_view_406_east:
  view: no
  entities:
    - camera.406_east

exterior_view_406_south:
  view: no
  entities:
    - camera.406_south

exterior_view_406_west:
  view: no
  entities:
    - camera.406_west

This is running on a PI3B+. I have a suspicion “live” streaming for the four cameras would melt it.

Use this custom component

I didn’t even know custom components existed! That’s cool, I am going to start writing these :slight_smile:

Now I just need to figure out how to install a custom component. Likely just drop the code in some folder right? Searching now…

Edit: Got it…thanks for anyone who stumbles on this thread…
