[RELEASE] HD+ - Android Dashboard

version 1.0.1880 (beta)

  • fix progress message from disappearing
  • reduce exoplayer default buffering
  • make RTSP driver default for rtsp sources
  • support OwnTracks Hubitat device driver

I did try to reduce the default buffering that ExoPlayer uses.. guessing it's meant for Internet video sources and not local cameras.

FWIW It didn't seem to make a difference on my Reolink camera though (which notably takes a 3-4 seconds to display with both RTSP and Exoplayer drivers). My Amcrest camera however displays almost instantly on both drivers.. maybe due to resolution or the fact that the Reolink is outside connecting via wifi so it could be slower because of it.

I also am now supporting the Owntracks device driver. Right now it's just a map and battery level but I'll try to get more info on the tile (screenshot has Owntracks on the left and Life360 on the right). Owntracks is more complicated to setup but I like the idea of just sending device location directly to my Hub and not Life360's servers (also the fact that Owntracks is free).

  • make RTSP driver default for rtsp sources

If you have an RTSP video source setup and never changed video drivers from the default - this change will default to using the RTSP driver (from Exoplayer). You can force it back using Edit -> Video Driver -> Exoplayer

Live video support is still something I'm testing but I do have 2 RTSP video feeds going in a folder and they've been running well so far
