2.46 app Beta Test 9/26/2023

Notes & Feedback on the new Event Report UI pages

  • It only shows the Smart Detection Events. This leads me to believe this is going to be limited to Cam Plus or Cam Plus Lite users with Smart Detection Events enabled.

  • It would be nice if the Events shown in the three Event Report UI followed the user set Event Filters.

  • It only shows one cam at a time. There is no multicam view. I have also not found a way to swipe thru the cams to go from cam to cam without using the clumsy and space limited drop down menu selector. Reviewing events for 27 cams using this UI would take forever.

  • When opening, it always defaults to the same single cam (top cam in the Home page order) and in the slideshow view. If it is to remain restricted to single cam views, it would be beneficial to designated my own default landing page by cam.

  • When viewing a Cam in the Timeline or Slide Show, then clicking Event Report, it again resets the Event Report to that same top cam landing page. It doesn’t show the cam that was being viewed when clicking the Event Report button.

  • From the three Event Report UI pages, there is no way to jump to the Actual Event Video in the Event List or the Event Player, no way to jump to SD Video Playback of that event, and no way to download or share the video. If I see something of interest, I have to go back to the Event List and scroll as usual until I find the Event I was viewing and wanted.

  • The speed of the slideshow is insanely fast. Need user defined play speed settings that save to the account.

  • Dark Mode… nice to have it… if I want it…but don’t force it on me. If my app is in light mode, all app UI should be in light mode.

If you have the beta version, I would like to side load. From now on, I am going to check the versions as well.

Thanks! I caught the reversion in the Play Store when some said they lost the new Event Report UI. I have mine on Manual Update so I never updated.

One cam can be viewed at a time, but you can go through all cameras if you want, correct?

That was my experience when I was able to test it.

You have to select another cam from the drop-down menu. There isn’t a way to swipe thru cams like you can swipe thru Events.

Copy paste link into new browser window/tab. I don’t think Discourse allows tapthrough for links to executables, etc.

Android beta 2.46.0.b360 (filename: com.hualai_62060.apk)
removed due to error

Downloaded. Installing it shortly

thanks

@Seapup , says the apk seems to be invalid.

Will try again but not sure

EDIT

Yep, says invalid. Ideas? Will remove the old and try to install again

Checking…

Thanks - will hold off on removing and installing then

Wow… this is the 1st time I’ve run into an issue like this. I can’t install the saved apk either. Will do some debugging in a bit…

Appreciate it.

I can install it, but starting it results in a blank screen and I can’t figure out why. I guess this is why apkmirror hasn’t made it available yet either. :expressionless:

ok, I might be able to get it on Monday. If I do, I will share

good catch! I missed that entirely…that’s a new one…we need to make sure this doesn’t happen in the future

there has to be beta testers outside of us that are awfully confused!

@Seapup

I would love to get a copy of that APK. I had been trying to back them up just for this type of instance and missed it :frowning:

if anyone can get the copy working that is lol

Agreed. I would think there would be a digital version number check within the Google Play update process that would prevent reversions.

Sometimes APKmirror catches the Beta APKs, but it looks like it didn’t catch this one for some reason.

I checked several other APK mirror sites and looks like none of them caught the 2.46 Beta for some reason. Maybe because it wasn’t long enough or something?

ive been all over the apk sites too. looks like none of them got it. :frowning:

I wonder if unrolling and reenrolling would get it to pop up as an update if you sideloaded an older version. but them again it was probably replaced by the hotfix on google play and what not.

I wish they would make the current Beta available for download on the website on the firmware page, kind of a separate beta page. that would solve this for most.

think we can get anyone to set up a drop box for our teams with the aps in them? lol

Definitely wouldn’t show up that way. Google only ever shows you the newest option for your tract. In this case the hotfix is listed as the newest on the Beta Tract. They should’ve just set it as the newest on the Production Tract Only, but made a version lower than the Beta Tract.

I’m sure someone will do something about it next week.

:wink:

Be careful there. Others have been locked out of reenrolling in the Beta because it was full.
