bandwidth switching does not work

[fiberman]

Hello,

I often use the bandwidth switch in the console windows to switch between timeline and single event display mode.
Unfortunately, the toggle button no longer works in the current Zoneminder version.

I've been waiting for a few updates, but the bug hasn't been fixed yet.

My installation is Debian Buster zoneminder 1.35.14~20201127.104-buster amd64.

Thanks for reporting.

This fixes the issue on my machine. Please confirm the issue is fixed on yours.

Hello,

the change is implemented in version 1.35.14 ~ 20201202.114-buster amd64 for me. The pull-down menu now changes on request.
However, the display (events or timeline) within a monitor section (hour display etc.) does not change when the bandwidth is changed via the pull-down menu, although different options are set for "WEB_H_EVENTS_VIEW" for medium and low bandwidths.

best regards
Daniel

Maybe it's because I'm still drinking my morning coffee, but I'm not sure what you mean.
What exactly does not change after the bandwidth setting is changed on the navbar?

If the WEB_(L/M/H)_XXXXX events are being set appropriately after making a selection from the navbar, then it would seem the problem is somewhere other than the frontend.

OK, I'll try to describe it better:

In my settings, the display of events as a timeline is set for low bandwidth, and the display as an event list for high bandwidth.

In the main window of the console, for example, I set low bandwidth via the pulldown.
When I go to the "Events of the last hour" section in a monitor, the timeline is correctly displayed.
If I now switch to high bandwidth in the pulldown at the top of this window, the event list is not displayed, but the timeline continues to be displayed. The OnClick effect when using the bandwith-pulldown is missing.
I first have to go back to the main window of the console, switch to high bandwidth and then back to the view of the events of the last hour. Only then will the events be shown to me as a list.

greetings

Try this:

I was never able to duplicate the problem on my end, but fortunately Isaac was able to.

I've tried that. I made the change manually on line 642 in the specified file. Unfortunately there was no change in behavior. I press the bandwith pulldown menu, but nothing happens - except that the menu shows the newly selected bandwidth.

I was able to duplicate the problem and push a fix here:
https://github.com/ZoneMinder/zoneminde ... 89ae899dce

To test, I navigated to Options and set WEB_M_EVENTS_VIEW to "timeline". After saving, I set the bw selector to medium, then I navigated back to the console. I then observed the event links pointed to the timeline view, rather than events. Just to be sure, I clicked one of the event links, which indeed brought me to a timeline view.

I then proceeded to set the bandwidth back to high and navigate back to the console. I observed the event links took me to event view this time, rather than to the timeline view.

Please verify this is fixed on your end as well.
If this does not fix it for you, then please describe the steps to duplicate the problem in the same manner as I have just done.

Unfortunately that doesn't work yet.

I do the following:
1. I go to the options menu of the console. There are on the left among others the menu items "low bandwidth", "medium bandwidth" and "high bandwidth".
2. I go into the settings for "low bandwidth". There I set the option "timeline" for "WEB_L_EVENTS_VIEW". I save the change.
3. I go to the settings for "medium bandwidth". There I set the option "events" for "WEB_M_EVENTS_VIEW". I save the change.
4. I go back to the console (main window).
5. In the console (main window) at the top left in the pull-down menu for bandwidth "low" is set.
6. I go to monitor 1 in the window for the events of the last hour. It shows the timeline with swings in the event of alarms, where I can control the events directly with the mouse. So far everything is OK.
7. I stay in the same window (Monitor1 / Events / Events of the last hour) and select "medium" for the bandwidth in the pull-down menu in the top left.
Now I would expect that the display in the window switches from timeline to single event display (This was the case with earlier Zoneminder versions). But nothing happens except that the bandwidth pulldown menu item changes. The timeline continues to be displayed. It also doesn't change when I update the website (e.g. in Firefox with F5).

I'm shocked if it worked that way in the past. The events view and the timeline view are entirely different pages. You can toggle between them using the handy icons at the top of the list. The bandwidth dropdown just changes a cookie, that's it.

[fiberman]

Oh, I guess I didn't see the forest for the trees!

Yes, I can switch between timeline and event mode using the icons.
Perfect! That is how I can use it.

Many thanks for your help!
