3.0 app with Pan v3 cams

Anyone else notice anything like this - in the new 3.0 app, on the home/favorites screen I have a mix of Pan v3s and OGs. The OGs are a live stream and work great. The Pan v3s do this odd thing where they alternate between a still image from some point in the past, and a still image of “now”. There is no video or stream, just this weird back and forth of still frames every 5-10 seconds. Occasionally if I scroll up and down it goes to a video stream, but mostly just this weird alternating back and forth between an old image and a new image…

I even dropped it down to just a single Pan v3 on that screen, same thing. If I tap the image it takes me to the regular interface for the camera and the stream is fine…

Actually just noticed if I switch to the monitoring tab (which has the same Pan v3s and a couple of the same OGs) then back to the home screen, they are all working fine with live video streams, until I scroll on that screen then they go back to the weird behavior when I scroll back up and they reload the live stream.

Was really hoping for a screen where you can have 4 cams each taking up 1/4 of the screen with your phone turned sideways (like the monitoring screen but expanded to full screen with nothing else). No such luck there.

I am not a fan of the new app for this reason. Before, once loaded, I could see four cams and could tap any one to view a larger scene. Now, all are constantly loading. If I scroll down, those try to load. Ditto back up. The only way to view a steady stream is by clicking and viewing only one.

Yeah I think the still frame list was probably preferable, or at least smaller videos so you can see all/most cams at once. The home screen now is essentially a camera group, but oddly my cameras all work fine and live stream at the same time in a regular cam group, but the Pan v3s misbehave on the home screen. I’m already used to just using my “all cams” group to see what I need to see (and I like that you can turn it sideways and see 4 cams full screen that way too).
