Ring plugin: notifications only showing snapshot instead of live stream #1345

Closed DragonWork closed 7 months ago

DragonWork commented 7 months ago

Notifications from the Ring plugin (motion and doorbell events) are only showing a snapshot instead of switching to the live stream on the Apple TV. This has been an issue since the update to tvOS 17.

I managed to debug the process by using a custom motion sensor/doorbell button and found a solution: by sending the corresponding events twice (just a few ms delay), the second event will trigger a switch to the live stream almost instantly.

Seems like a bug in tvOS, but as it hasn‘t been fixed for months now, this would be the only viable option to fix this annoying problem for Apple TV users. This might also fix HKSV recording problems, but I have not verified this yet.
