Hi,
I can’t seem to get my view item show up when using the “Search views and cameras…” in Smart Client.
I tried to override ViewItemManager.DisplayName with no luck:
public override string DisplayName => "Bosse";
Tested with 2024 R2.
This functionality is supposed to find the views in a quicker way but find the same views as are already listed.
When you look at the views without using the search, do you find the view?
Thinking further, when I deploy the SCViewAndWindow plugin sample, I cannot find this sample using the search.
Testing again I deploy the Video Preview plugin sample, use it in a view, and set it up to use a camera. When I use search I can neither find “Video Preview” nor the camera in the context of that view.
Is this what you are observing?
Yes, I think so. This is a very old view item plugin - I think it was based on a RGBEnhancement sample or something like that.
Basically, the customer reported this, wants to be able to search for a camera and quickly find the views it is available in.
@Bo Ellegård Andersen (Milestone Systems) - do you think this is a bug or limitation in XProtect?
My idea is that when you set EmbeddedCameraFQIDProperty, the view item should act same way as a built-in Camera view item. It does so on populating the time line and in export scenarios, but as you and I have now discovered it doesn’t act that way in the camera / view search.
I did an experiment with an older Smart Client and older version of the RGBEnhancement plugin sample. It seems the issue was there always, so there is a doubt whether the search was implemented that way for a reason I cannot think of now. I will report it as a bug and share here what Milestone Development gives me of feedback.
