Configuring Multiview for NDI using the Web UI

Now that Multiview for NDI is running, you can configure it in your web browser. Go to http://localhost:8901 in a web browser running on the same machine as Multiview for NDI.
You can also launch the web UI if you know the IP address or hostname of the machine. By default Multiview will listen on port 8901 on all network cards - including VPNs like Tailscale.
By default, Multiview will create one viewer using the 2 large, 8 small layout.
To assign a source to a viewport:
Click the viewport.
Click the computer or device name in the list that appears on the right.
If there's only one source being sent by that device, Multiview will automatically subscribe to the full bandwidth feed.
If there's more than one source, click the source name you want the viewport to subscribe to. Multiview will subscribe to the proxy feed.
In the example above, viewport 1 has been assigned Mevo-26JBG (MEVO-26JBG). Since there was only one source being sent by that device, Multiview has subscribed to the full bandwidth feed by default.
When a viewport is subscribed to a source, you will see either a P for Proxy Feed, or F for Full Feed. Proxy feeds are recommended as they run at lower frame rates and resolutions.
To change subscription modes, click on the P/F next to the source name.
To send out the current viewer as an NDI source, click the NDI Out Off button at the top of the screen. When NDI output is active, this button will light up in red and say NDI Out ON.
Your multiview layout will now be sent as an NDI source.
To rename a viewer, hover your mouse over the current viewer name and click it. You'll notice a paper and pencil icon next to the viewer name.
A text box will now appear. Enter in your new viewer name and click the green checkmark button at the end.
When Multiview for NDI is launched, by default Preset 0 is loaded. Once you have assigned all your sources to viewports, hold Shift, and click on the source preset you'd like to assign.
Saving to Preset 0 will ensure your sources are assigned when Multiview is restarted.
