Greg,
You might want to ping Ludo at Janimation. He wrote a tool in Python a
while back that does captures by switching cameras (back in the days of
3.5). He might have some ideas on how to do this.

Subject: RE: [scripting: python] check if viewport is muted or not
Bummer, thats too bad that there doesn't seem to be a way to access the
state, cause thats pretty integral to what I am trying to do. I have
been having problems with rendering on a farm through Rush. On several
occasions where I had accidently left the render camera muted, the job
would complete, but nothing was rendered. It would work perfectly fine
after I went back into the scene, unmuted the camera, saved, and reque
my job in Rush.
I figured if I could write a little script that runs before my job
submitter, I could have to warn me if the camera viewport is muted. Oh
well.
Thanks for your help.
Greg
