Mobile app Loading takes too long

by Karl_S » Sat Dec 31, 2016 10:57 am

Using the mobile app I get a Loading message and it never stays on showing the live stream. I have the bit rate set to the lowest, .5 for both live and clips. I can view the raw IP feeds without issue. The only difference being that the viewer I use for that only shows 2 views at a time. This view is done on the same phone. I have 8 cameras and everything displays quickly via PC browser even remotely.

Anything I can try to help the mobile sighthound app? This is on Android and happening with 2 phones. The wife acceptance factor (WAF) on sighthound went down quite a bit as a result. I can set my remote home automation app (HomeSeer and HSTouch) to show the raw feeds but really want the clip capability via the sighthound app.

Hello Karl_S,

Are you able to load the live stream if you disable HLS streaming in the in-app settings? Some Android devices have troubles with HLS streaming, so we've included this feature as an alternative. I'd be happy to take a look at your logs for any issues if you could submit a bug report by going to Help > Report a Problem. Be sure to include a link to this forum post so we know it's from you.

Regards,

-Devin
