Hi,

I have INDI library: 1.9.0 running as a server on a Linux Mint PC and I run kstars/Ekos from another connecting to the server via 5GHz wi-fi.

I have 2 ZWO cameras, a 120MC-S for guiding and 294MC. Both cameras stream from from the INDI control panel in Ekos when connected individually but the 120MC-S always freezes when the 2 cameras are connected at the same time. They have their own USB 3 connections to the server. I tried using USB 2 for the 120 and also connecting via the 294 but with the same result.

I have had a few problems with the 120MC-S outside of INDI, it does tend to behave a bit erratically sometimes so I do wonder if it's a problem with the camera. It's certainly less reliable than the 294.  Both cameras are new so I don't think it's a firmware issue. I the only update fw for the 120 seems to suggest it's only for USB 2.

It probably doesn't matter too much because I tend to use a local capture app running on the INDI server for the imaging but wondered if there's an easy fix/workaround. The streaming is quite useful when setting up the telescope.

Cheers,
