Octoprint only shows what it is currently *sending* to the printer and does not know what is currently printing. There is a buffer in the printer which can cause considerable latency between sending and printing.

I also have a webcam attached to my OctoPrint box. When I compare the visualisation of the gcode viewer with the live stream, I must say it synchronises fairly good.
When I look at the source code it only seems to buffer a few commands ahead from a serial stream.

Hi,
OctoPrint has a Gcode viewer which synchronises with the job progress. This will give you a live view. But it only supports Gcode (UMO(+) and not the UM2/3 flavours that I know of.
