Quirk about UI3 interface

I want to select a channel with one click, and be able to use PTZ and adjust volume from the home layout screen. This is how the main Blue Iris interface is. One click selects it, double click maximizes it. In UI3 one click maximizes it and selects it. When I minimize the channel, it is still playing audio from that channel indicating it is "selected". Then to listen to another channel I have to click on it twice so that it maximizes and then minimizes. Just seems clunky and unorthodox. In both the Hikvision and Reolink clients you are able to select a channel from the home layout view, adjust PTZ, and change volume. Am I missing something here?


Edit: It looks like the audio from all channels are combined which makes sense. But the PTZ controls are disabled on the home layout screen. It would have been nice if it copied the Blue Iris main interface behavior where PTZ can be adjusted from the home layout screen without having to maximize the channel

How do you suppose I do that? Is there another way to select a camera without maximizing it

Read the info I suggested.
Click to expand...
So it sounds like you don't actually know and want to put the responsibility on the user to find this information themselves. I already asked chat gpt (I attached the manual and told it to scan through it), and it was not of any help. The only relevant sounding setting is the double click to full screen feature but that causes the entire interface in UI3 to toggle full screen. It seems that this is just the way it is. But I'm not an expert which is why I asked here.
 
Correct. That's why these are called "help forums" (although this site is more of a troll forum but I digress). But you offered advice which doesn't make any sense and won't explain yourself other than to tell me to read the manual... So it sounds like you either don't know what I am talking about (even though it's clear in the video) or you don't know what you're talking about about, which is fine. Because that's what manuals are for :lol:
