Timelapse is broken on any camera using Plug-in version 3.7.0.17

Timelapse is not working on several of my cameras. I finally narrowed it down to the Plugin version. Steps to reproduce:

Go to Timelapse hit start, navigate away from timelapse screen in any way then come back. It will be ready to start another timelapse as if you never started one previously.

No matter what you do, no timelapse is ever recorded.

Are you positive? I’ve been seeing the behavior you’re describing with Cam v4 recently because other users have reported it in a couple of topics.[1][2] I find that if I don’t revisit the Timelapse screen (to cause the apparent interruption) the time lapse shows up in my Album. Even if I do navigate back to the Timelapse screen after scheduling a recording and before it has completed—and the Timelapse screen isn’t showing the current schedule but has reset as if it’s waiting for the user to schedule a new time lapse—I’m still finding the recordings in my Album for that camera once the appointed end time has passed, and I can download and view those.

I still think it’s a bug that has persisted since app 3.7 RC and made it from the release candidate into current production. I’ve noted this in yesterday’s app release topic because I’m seeing that UI behavior in testing today despite the availability of the completed time lapse recordings in the Album.

Yep, tried that. I still get nothing. I just setup a 5 min timelapse and left it on the screen until it finished. Nothing saved.
