Bottom Bar on Playback

Post by fish2222 »

I just updated to 1.36.14 hoping for a fix, but I still have the issues with the bottom bar not showing up correctly on 2 of my 5 cameras. All 5 worked before I upgraded from 1.34.x. I had another thread about this and a few guys gave some things to try but I can't find the thread now. Any ideas? All cameras have nearly the same settings, and the things I tried last time (deleting the camera, cloning it, etc) didn't fix it. Any ideas? Thanks!

The difference is that one is playing an mp4 and we use a nice javascript plugin to provide that ui. The other is an mjpeg stream which doesn't use the js library.

When you upgraded from 1.34 you got the ability to encode to h265 and other things. You probably don't actually want to be encoding. You probably really want Passthrough mode where we just take what the camera sends us and write it to disk.

However this is all complicated by the fact that browsers can't play h265....

Holy cow! Thanks! I changed all of the cameras to passthrough, and now they all work like they are supposed to! Now if select all and delete worked right for the listing of recordings for each camera, we would be golden!

Well, I spoke too soon. I do have one camera that only have h.265 settings, and after going to passthrough, it will no longer play back the video. So, I had to go back to 265 encoding for it to show recordings.
