The purpose of this release was to polish things up, but some great features snuck in as well including a vastly enhanced Support Ticket UI, Picture-in-Picture support on iOS, improved UniFi Protect support via a new Integration, a streamlined Add Camera flow, and finally you can now lay out cameras with a vertical size constraint (meaning that they’ll scroll horizontally).
Here’s a quick Picture-in-Picture demo.
- Adds more stats to the Account ==> Purchases screen: max cameras, max devices, max recording days.
- Prevents multiple shares from being created for a single camera.
- Delete associated shares when deleting a camera
- Don't show the Switch-to-Remote button when connecting to an Attached camera because if it is local, we can't remote connect, and if it isn't local, we auto-remote-connect
- Fixes an issue where going full screen on a camera resulted in a skewed version of the camera being displayed in the background (DV)
- Overhauls the Support Ticket UI. There's no new functionality here, but the ugly table view ui is gone
- PiP (Picture in Picture) support when streaming a single camera. All of the code is in place for this to work on tvOS, but it simply doesn't work. Additionally, it's a hamstrung feature on anyway, since PiP doesn't support app switching on tvOS.
- Only speak with CMCAVSpeechSynthesisTalker on a background queue. I'm hoping this'll prevent some dropped frames that sometimes occurs when speaking an announcement.
- Automatically update a camera's name to reflect a name change on a UniFi Protect system. This is limited to the UniFi integration and doesn't work if you merely configure an RTSP camera that happens to be served by a Protect system.
- Renames the Account tab to Settings to better reflect its function
- Updates the tutorial text to reflect this name change
- Overhauls architecture for integration-based cameras
- Add your Google Nest or UniFi Protect integration in the Settings tab
- Each such camera has an integration association
- Update your authentication for the integration and it applies to all of the associated cameras
- Backwards compatibility with already added Nest / UniFi cameras
- Overhauls the flow for adding cameras
- Everything starts with the Add a Camera screen
- Immediately see all discovered cameras including ONVIF, HomeKit, Attached, Google Nest, UniFi Protect
- Choose a discovered camera or the Add Manually option
- This is used for ONVIF, RTSP and Shared camera creation
- Help articles are now directly accessible on the setup screen for Google Nest, UniFi protect integrations
- Changed stuff in the Settings tab
- The Invite button moved from the Actions screen to the Members screen
- The Join button moved from the Actions screen to the Accounts screen
- Renamed the Action section to Junk Drawer
- Fixes an issue where a newly added HomeKit camera did not get the correct default name
- When viewing the Configure screen for a Google Nest camera, if the underlying device's name has changed, that new name will be displayed and saved (if the user hits the Save button)
- About screen changes
- Updates the background with the blurred Streamie logo
- Improves legibility by choosing a better font color
- Adds support for sharing a Google Nest camera
- Adds a File Server Details cell at the top of the main (Cameras) screen when viewing NAS recordings
- Adds a Delay setting (zero, 0.25s, 0.5s, 1s, 2s) to each camera that controls the time for which frames are queued before being displayed (DV)
- Use caution with this feature because it will dramatically increase memory use
- Refactored the Help tab to create a unified coordinator for iOS and tvOS
- The camera layout controller (Quilt) now supports a vertically-constrained layout that scrolls horizontally. You can toggle this layout setting while you're streaming cameras
- Fixes a crash that occurs when a remote notification is received before PenguinService is initialized.
- Fixes a crash that can occur when attempting to bootstrap a UniFi Protect connection (DV).
- Fixes the page control indicator colors in the first-time-launch Tutorial so that its actually visible.
- When updating a HomeKit camera, the name of the camera is now automatically updated to reflect the name of the HomeKit device
- Filters out HomeKit cameras when creating a new Share, because it is not possible to share a HomeKit camera
- Adds the Streamie version number to the Settings ==> Members screen for each member device
- Fixes a truly awful user experience when creating manual URL or ONVIF cameras
- Standardizes on Okay instead of a mishmash of Okay and Ok.
- Adds support for displaying clear error messages to the user when something goes wrong while trying to stream a HomeKit camera
- Fixes account switching so that it will actually refresh all of the app content after an account switch.
- Touches up the appearance of the live-stream and snapshot watermarks for free users.
- Removes the Name field from the HomeKit Configure screens because I want the camera name to track the HomeKit accessory name
- Fixes an issue where closed Tuxedo connections were not removed from the connections list, leading to the possibility of trying to reuse a closed connection, which doesn't really accomplish what you might hope for.
