Known Issues

• Avoid upcasting CameraFeedExtension to CameraFeed, otherwise get_formats and set_format will not work.

var feed := CameraServer.get_feed(0) # Returned feed will not work if it is CameraFeedExtension
var feed: CameraFeed = CameraServer.get_feed(0) # Same as above
var feed = CameraServer.get_feed(0) # Both CameraFeed and CameraFeedExtension will work
