I updated my hub to platform 2.4.0, and backup/restore layout to hub stopped working. Has anyone else seen the same thing?
@jpage4500 Did 2.4.x break something that you're using for this feature?
Yes, I am trying to get the app to work. I set it up as an app link and it will open the app, but then I lose the dashboard. I am trying to find an easy way that my wife can open the app and play music like Spotify or Pandora.
I'm still experiencing this issue. I have 4 tall pico tiles partway down my (4 wide) page and it stops scrolling. Also a 4x wide ES tile at the bottom and it only shows a few lines (when I adjust the picos).
I didn't see anything obvious in the release notes but I will update and test. I haven't had much time to work on HD+ in a while but I'm hoping I will have some this next week
Thanks. It's worth noting that I run in SSL mode, in case that makes a difference.
version 1.0.2591 (beta)
- update rtsp video driver to latest version
- support changing input source for audio devices
- hide moon title
- fix windowshade bug when hide advanced UI is checked
This should be implemented now though I don't have a device to test with. The tricky part is that JSON value which will only work if it looks like your example.
I updated the RTSP driver. Please let me know if that helps
I just hid it for this tile.. seems like it's not necessary
fixed

I updated to 2.4.0.144 and haven't seen any issues backing up or restoring from the Hub
It's worth noting that I run in SSL mode
What's SSL mode? I believe HD+ already uses https for all Hub connections
This one's tricky. If you have a BACK button it should go back to HD+
What I don't have today is a way to auto-return back to HD+ from another app in the foreground. That's the kind of thing Tasker or Fully Kiosk can do.. I think they require you to make them the default launcher.
It might be possible to do this in HD+ with the following 2 settings/features:
- The default launcher permission would be necessary for HD+ to put itself in the foreground.
- The auto return home setting is intended to always put the app back to it's main screen after a given period of time (ie: 30 seconds)
Today it only works while you're in the HD+ app. But, it might be possible to set a timer whenever you exit out of HD+ and re-open it when that fires. What I probably couldn't do is know if you're using another app or not though.. so, it'd always bring you back after 30 seconds no matter what. Anyway, seems possible but I'd need to do some digging to be sure
I have my hub configured to only allow secure connections.
Are there any logs I can get for you from the device that won't back up to the hub?
@jpage4500 - I updated on one of my 4 Fire HDs and the RTSP driver seems to be broken with Hikvision feeds - I'm now just getting a black screen and I don't see it try to connect (no message). If I click the tile to go full screen I see live video as expected. Is there any way I'm able to roll back? Thanks
@jpage4500 I have a button controller setup for my vacuum and am using 8 buttons for different functions, but in HD+, I can only have 6 buttons.
Is this the limit for a button tile, or is there a way to get more buttons on a tile in HD+?
Sorry if this has already been answered, but I did try a search for an answer...
Cannot seem to download the beta version. Does "About" in the app indicate a beta version?
No there is no indication for the beta status in the "About" section. The latest beta should be 1.0.2591.
You can download (siedload) the beta version from post #1 or have to wait for the Playstore.
I did that, but the "support changing input source for audio devices" does not appear.
You are right, I don't see the setting either.
If you sideloaded the app there's a check for updates option in the About menu. If it's not there this is the Google Play version. Assuming you're enrolled in the beta channel it usually takes a few days after I post an update for a device to get it (sadly).
I can't tell but if you do have the update and still don't see this option can you let me know what the driver type is? The option should show up in the device details screen.. in this case if you press and hold the tile.
It looks like I check first for MediaInputSource capability and then if supportedInputs attribute exists. I was using this driver capability
I just went back to your screenshot and it looks like you've got something different which is why it's not working... I'll support both in the next version

Music player device tile previously displayed album art as a background. Went away with recent update. Any chance of getting that back?
I'll check on this - I think I might have removed it not knowing if any device drivers actually return album art. What app/driver are you using?
I'm using a Spotify integration that I modified to suit my needs. I'd link the post that a originally got the code from but I'm not finding it. If it helps, the Echo Speaks device driver implements album art the same way using the trackImage and/or trackimageHtml attributes which are supported by the MusicPlayer capability.
Edit: Found the original code on github...GitHub - mitchpond/Spotify-HE-Connect: A tool to enable playback control and status display of a connected Spotify account using Hubitat Elevation. Developer considered it incomplete but for the most part, I found it to be almost perfect for my use case.
Anybody know?
