title: Bypass the 6 downloads limit for multiple videos watching
body: <p>I have to code a website with the capability of watching many live streams (video-surveillance cameras) at the same time.</p>
  
  <p>So far, I'm using MJPEG and JS to play my live videos and it is working well ... be only up to 6 streams !</p>
  
  <p>Indeed, I'm stuck with the 6 parallel downloads limit most browser have (<a href="https://support.mozilla.org/fr/questions/992338" rel="nofollow noreferrer">link</a>).</p>
  
  <p>Does someone know how to by-pass this limit ? Is there a tip ?</p>
  
  <p>So far, my options are:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>increase the limit (only possible on Firefox) but I don't like messing with my users browser settings</p></li>
  <li><p>merge the streams in one big stream/video on the server side, so that I can have one download at the time. But then I won't be able to deal with each stream individually, won't I ?</p></li>
  <li><p>Switch to JPEG stream and deal with a queue of images to be refreshed on the front side (but if I have say 15 streams, I'm afraid I will collapse my client browser on the requests (15x25images/s)</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Do I have any other options ? Is there a tip or a lib, for example could I merge my stream in one big pipe (so 1 download at the time) but have access to each one individually in the front code ? </p>
  
  <p>I'm sure I'm on the right stack-exchange site to ask this, if I'm not please tell me ;-)</p>
