bluecherrydvr / unity Goto Github PK

using IP address and port 7001

Tried admin account and a view-only account.

Same result whether at program startup, or if I skip that and attempt to add server once the program has started.

Hi

I installed the alpha from the .exe setup, it went ok except some antivirus glitch on Windows 11.

But when I try to add the server, with the same credentials (checked many times), it says
"10.1.1.6 could not be added. Please check the entered details."

I don't see anything related to this on the system log.

Thanks

I attempted to open the app to reproduce an issue.

All I got was a blank white window with the Bluecherry logo in the center. Had to kill it with task manager.

Tried reinstalling. No luck. Uninstalled and reinstalled. No luck. Uninstalled, deleted the folder in Program Files (x86), and reinstalled.

Got the screen shown below. Totally unresponsive. Can't minimize, maximize, close or move the window.

This is somewhat important.
Being able to configure video aspect ratio / fitting options for various camera views in settings will be a good option.

• Cover
• Contain
• Fill
• Fit-Width
• Fit-Height

Not urgent ATM.

Currently, events are limited to 50 events, which can mislead customers.

Expected behavior

There shouldn't be a limit, but it seems that the current implementation can not parse a high number of events without affecting the UI.

When looking deeper, part of the events seems to be handled inside the build method, blocking the UI when performing the operation with large lists. Before handling the events, the events are parsed in the main thread, which is also something that can affect the UI

'History' would be better for the UI.

When the mobile app is installed for the first time, the system requests the user to display notifications. They are used to warn the user about events. Although, if the user denies the permission, the app is stuck at the splash screen and doesn't complete the initialization

Add the PTZ control functionality

It'd be nice to be able to zoom in the full screen live viewer with the panning gesture. On desktop, the mouse scroll wheel can be used

Additional info

#92

Currently, only Android, iOS and Windows are supported. It'd be nice to have macOS support

Similar to the Ring app, add the ability to "snooze" notifications for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, one hour

Beta3 was released but the apk shows beta2

Currently, the event player shows only a snippet of the player.

Proposal

Implement an integrated event player for a specific camera, showing a complete timeline for the given camera

¹ The side navigation style should only be visible in a tablet-like environment. In other words, the screen must be (641px to 1007px large and at least 800px tall). The current implementation is buggy and doesn't work in small screens

² On mobile, landscape orientation should only be applied on grid view and on timeline view. Tho, the other screens are found in the landscape mode:

³ The drawer navigation style should only be visible in small screens style. Instead, sometimes the drawer button is visible even on desktop

#65

When a server that has an active camera is removed, the app crashes out of the sudden

Currently we only support a fullscreen command line option. Adding a command line option would be useful for customers with multiple monitors / layouts:

For example: bluecherryclient.exe [ -l "layout name:monitor_number" ]

Device Info: iPhone 13, iOS 16.2

Love the work the BlueCherry team is doing but finding the new app difficult to work with and not quite right. I preferred the old app even though it has less features.

1. I found scaling and UI issues. Screenshots have been attached. Playback event window seems to small. Cannot accurately see position on timeline. Perhaps reduce the amount of information on the screen / make less cluttered. Images and buttons can be too small to accurately click.
2. Also miss the ability to select a view and zoom in on the live image.
3. Have also been finding the app crashes a bit can’t quite workout what’s triggering it yet.

Happy to complete further testing.

I will test on the latest iPad Air and also let you know how it goes.

    The camera list is empty, unless I go to settings and back:

It is the same camera list used by the Events Playback

As soon as I go to settings it detects the cameras:

And then they appear everywhere:

This message pops up when I try to run the client.

Do we have to download the flutter and dart SDK packages to run this?

In LayoutManager, it should be possible to reorder the layouts. The layouts, when cycling is enabled, will be displayed in the specified order

Tested on iOS / Android, if the phone is in landscape mode and you click 'Add Server' it defaults to adding the server however the buttons are missing and you can't scroll down.

Forcing into portrait mode would be better.

Add the possibility to download event videos to the system local storage, and implement the Downloads Manager as well

Seeking the TimelineView doesn't work properly, specially with big events. Gaps do not fullfill into the views time properly

Add option to right click on a layout and open that into a new window.

Currently, it's possible to enable layout cycling on the layout manager by pressing the cycle button. Every 5 seconds, the layout will change.

Proposal

It should be possible to change the order of the layouts. as well as changing the duration between each change (default to 5 seconds). This could be done on the Settings page

Additional

Cycling should be possible in mobile/small devices

1. If you exit from the program in the history viewer by clicking the X, a unity process is left running in the task manager. I needed to manually remove the nonresponsive unity process before starting the program again.

I downloaded the "Windows client 3.1.0-alpha1" from the releases page but the installer shows 3.0.0-beta1

And the app shows 3.0.0-alpha1

Currently Windows release has a hard coded release for the installer (

As reported in #40

Pretty simple, request a thumbnail (code already exists) from the event and display in the notification.

Android: Back button doesn't work and you are stuck in the screen unless you force quit or proceed to the next step
Apple: Same as above, but obviously no back button.

I believe the timestamp on the Events player does not account for the local timezone. I'm getting a date in the future :)

    Clicking on "open in a new window" on the main view does nothing:

The problem

Currently, if a screen is larger than 800px, DesktopViewProvider is used. Otherwise, MobileViewProvider is used. This is good for a static device, but doesn't work properly for an app running on a tablet, where the window can be resized to any size.

Proposal

Use the same view provider for both large and small screens, as well as ensure the view is properly updated and adapted to the new screen size when the app window is resized.

This can be done by creating a new layout management type for smaller screens, where the layout can have the same level of customization as for larger screens: single, compact and multiple view. With this, cycling through different layouts should also be allowed.

Since you guys seem great about trying to maintain Linux support in the client, I would suggest you look into creating a Linux AppImage package.

It makes supporting multiple Linux distros MUCH easier.

https://appimage.org/

This actually might be a way to package the existing client to work on newer systems that come with Qt5 now but still make them able to run the client because the AppImage can contain its own Qt4 libs inside it. You could create the AppImage on older Ubuntu with Qt4, but people would be able to run it on their newer Ubuntu 20, or Arch Linux systems too.

It would take some of the pressure off having to immediately migrate to Qt5 for instance.

Discussed in #75

Windows 11 22H2
Bluecherry client 3.0.0 beta6
Bluecherry server 3.1.0-rc7

I freshly installed the client, connected to a server and opened a camera to the live view but am seeing a blank screen. I can view recordings.

The version 2 client can connect to the streams and of course the recordings just fine.

No error messages appear, so I'm not sure what diagnostic info I can provide to help.

It would be helpful to have an option for the list to be alphabetically sorted by device name. The makes the task of finding a specific device easier when you have over 100 devices.

• Add configuration for various third-party plugins & packages.
• Adding app icons & splash screen.
• Setup Firebase.
• Configure push notifications from Firebase (only works on real device, not XCode Simulator).
• Add the CI for iOS to pump .ipa files.

The app initializes in the correct screen orientation, but it doesn't switch back to portrait when required

On touch devices, the scale gesture is conflicted with the drag (horizontal and vertical) gestures. The movement gestures work fine, as well as the stop gesture

Currently blocked by:

• flutter/flutter#68960
• flutter/flutter#11384

Tested with iOS 16 simulator and virtual devices iPhone 12 and iPhone 14 Pro, see attached image.

I can only 'click' on the first three icons on the left, anything buttons below the "bottom overflowed by 132..." are not clickable. In the simulator I can use the arrow keys to move around to the bottom buttons.

SDK version issue. This app was built with the iOS 16.0 SDK. Starting April 25, 2023, all iOS and iPadOS apps submitted to the App Store must be built with the iOS 16.1 SDK or later, included in Xcode 14.1 or later. (90725)

See attached image

Similar to the Android CI

Depends on #29

Currently you can not edit the server information (credentials / ip address / ports, etc) from inside the mobile app. You have to delete the server and add it again.

The close button needs to be pressed for the amount of cameras that are initialized.
