Introduction

Filers2 is a tool that can play and record video from webcams and other media sources.

It supports playing typical USB-WebCams and webstreams. It can also play from cameras such the Flir or Thor scientific cameras.

Filers2 can also be set up to stream the video on a network to another Filers2 instance.

Fliers2 also supports playing and recording from multiple cameras at once, independently or synchronously.

Filers2 configuration

Closing Filers saves the current configuration of the program. This is saved in a file called Filers2App_config.yaml alongside the program. The next time Filers2 is re-opened, it restores Filers2 from that file to its last configuration. If there are issues with Filers2, close it, delete the configuration file, and start Filer2 again. This will start it cleanly.
