Feature Request: Add Error Handling for Camera Initialization #1

Description

Feature Request

Summary

It would be beneficial to implement error handling for scenarios where one or more cameras fail to initialize. This can enhance the user experience by providing clear feedback rather than the application crashing or hanging.

Details

Currently, if a camera fails to initialize (for example, if it is not connected or is being used by another application), the program may not handle the error gracefully. This could lead to confusion for users when they are trying to capture video streams.

Proposed Solution

  • Implement try-except blocks in the main.py script during the camera initialization phase.
  • If a camera fails to initialize, display an error message indicating which camera could not be started and suggest potential next steps for troubleshooting.
  • Consider logging these errors for better diagnostics in future development.

This feature would greatly improve usability and allow users to quickly identify and resolve camera setup issues.
