Camera Names in Widgets (BI Android App)

Post by HST »

Hi,

since (I think) version 5.5, widgets on the android app are showing camera names / titles. Before, they would not, despite showing up on console and UI3.

Question:
Does anybody know of the correct settings to have them show in Console and UI3, but not on the widgets?

Thanks :)

Well I didn't respond because I have never used widgets, and it may be the same for others here :?

OK, take android Galaxy S10 lite, add widget to a screen, choose Blue Iris. It asks which camera, I choose my door camera and...

No camera names or titles, only the BI5 generated day and time on the image. Click the image and it updates.

It's in the settings then :idea:

Time to compare settings:

1. On the BI pc interface I don't have names or titles, but I can toggle them on/off.
2. On the UI3 interface I don't have names or titles, but I can toggle them on/off.
3. That must mean that the BI5 pc is sending them out.
4. Android app v3.0.35. I can't make names or titles appear on the widget, even when enabling them on the BI5 pc.

Anybody got a clue ?
