Thumbnails won't fetch

[rcoletti116]

With Privacy Mode Off thumbnails never fetch. I only see the PrivacyMode PNG. Also after a while the Privacy mode switch returns itself to "On" state.

Logs don't show much:

I'm having the same problem: the thumbnail always says Privacy mode, regardless of what the privacy switch on the camera is set to (again, maybe I'm not sure what the switch is supposed to do). Viewing the camera shows a test pattern and that persists for a few seconds after closing the live stream, but then swtches back to the privacy mode image.

I don't know if this related or a different issue but I see the following messages in the log:

Yes. Overhauled the thumbnails logic. in 3.5.5. give it a go now.

[colinbendell]

This should be resolved. closing for now.

I see the thumbnails, same as on the Blink app!

I see a lot of "GET /network/xxx/command/xxxx" lines in the log: 8 or 9 in a row, and then again a few seconds later. Is that expected traffic?

Nice progress!

The blink API uses async queues and so the command API call is checking for the completion. The lag is often related to the time it takes to contact the device
