Live View & Gallery with Multiple Cameras/Streams not Automatically Updating Events

[EPiSKiNG]

I'm trying to configure the following:

• Live view with scan mode between 7 different cameras with substreams (substream from frigate (6fps), and HD stream from Hikvision NVR integration.
• Gallery view containing events from all cameras (not just the active one) which automatically refreshes when there is a new snapshot added for any camera.

Running:

• HAOS 2024.8.2
• Frigate 0.14.0-da913d8
• Frigate Card 5.2.0
• Edge 127.0.2651.105 (Official build) and/or latest Home Assistant app on Android.

I've tried the following card where scan mode works properly, and the gallery is shown, but only shows the events from the active camera:

I've also tried this gallery only card which is functional, but only refreshes when I interact with it, when the entire dashboard is refreshed, or when I set update_seconds and update_timeout to something greater than 0, but when I do that, the gallery view flickers each time it refreshes, which is a bit annoying as it catches my eye and makes me think something happened, when in reality something may not have. I wouldn't mind this flicker if it only happened when there is a new snapshot available to review.

I'm fairly certain that the automations section is unnecessary, but it was something I was trying to see if I can "force" the refresh of the card.

I should also note that there is a vehicle parked in the "driveway" zone/camera, so that sensor is always showing "1" car count and occupied. I would like to think I can still get refreshed snapshots when other cameras/areas get triggered?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Please update to the latest build and let me know if you still have this issue:

https://github.com/dermotduffy/frigate-hass-card/releases/tag/v6.0.0-beta.1

Same issue on the first card, where events in the gallery are shown, but only for the selected camera... Perhaps my config needs some work.

The 2nd card (media gallery only) appears to be working properly now! Awesome!

I am noticing however, on the initial dashboard load (I have mine in Sidebar mode, with the Snapshots at the bottom of the main view), the web browser scrolls down the page to the snapshots, which is not ideal. I have to scroll back up each time the page is refreshed or loaded.

Thanks a ton for all your work!

Can you help me understand what this means? What happens, and what do you expect to happen?

[EPiSKiNG]

When I have the card configured per the first YAML, all the cameras listed are selectable by scrolling left/right, however, the thumbnails in the media gallery/snapshots show only those related the camera that is currently selected/displayed. I want it so that the media gallery/snapshots show events from all cameras, rather than just the selected camera.

Ultimately, I'm looking for a view where all cameras are in scan mode (camera with active person/occupancy is brought to front), reset to primary/original camera after occupancy clears, and where the media gallery at the bottom displays events from all the cameras, and not just the events from the in-focus/active camera (preferably on any/all of the cameras, not just the primary/original camera).

Hopefully that clears it up?

EDIT:

I added:

dependencies:
      all_cameras: true

to each camera in the config, and now the media gallery is showing properly. :)

I think we can close this one as solved for now! Nice work on the new interface/features! Thanks so much for everything you do!
