Navigating/scrubbing timeline for playback does not work over red motion indicators

[forestocean88]

Platform & OS Version

iOS and MacOS (both current/latest)

The version of zmNinja you are reporting:

(current release version)

The version and OS of ZoneMinder you are using:

1.34.1 on Ubuntu

What is the nature of your issue

Bug (usability/UI)

Details

When playing back a video that shows the timeline at the bottom with red vertical stripes for motion, trying to jump to a certain spot where there is motion, it seems the red stripes don't support click/touch events. One has to tap on the timeline outside of an area covered by a red stipe in order to get it to jump to that spot.

Instead, tapping on any spot on the timeline (including a red stripe motion indicator) should resume playback at that timestamp.

Also, a related issue: for scrubbing on the timeline, it seems only a drag event on MacOS (and iOS, I think, too) will move the current time. Just tapping is not enough, it has to be a tap+drag to move the current time. It would be easier if just a simple tap would move the current time also.

Thank you very much for your continued work on zmNinja!

In my case, tapping at different spots in the video bar take me there, both on iOS and Mac.

I did some more testing, here is what I'm seeing.  I navigated from Event List to a single Event, then press Play to view the video.  The video was captured in Mocord mode, so it's 10 minutes long and has just a few seconds in the middle with motion captured. _On MacOS:_ 1) Clicking on the timeline bar does not seek/jump to the time I clicked.  Instead it has two effects:  it pauses playback of the video, and it toggles display of the other toolbar/menu controls.  What it should do:  seek/jump to the time clicked and continue playback. 2) Clicking on the timeline bar and dragging left or right does cause the time to seek/jump to where I mouse-up (end drag).  However, it still stops playback.  If I don't drag, but rather just click, it does not seek/jump (see first case above). 3) Clicking on the timeline bar and dragging over a red motion marker and then mouse-upping (end dragging) on top of the red motion bar results in:  playback time resets to beginning of video (00:00) and playback stops.  The only way to play a motion segment is to click on the timeline, drag to just before the red motion bar, then mouse-up there, then click play, then let it play though the motion marker. _On iOS:_ 1) Tapping on the timeline does properly seek/jump to the location tapped, as long as it's not on a red motion bar. 2) Tapping directly on a red motion marker bar resets the playback time to 00:00 and pauses playback.  Same as for MacOS, to play a motion segment one must tap just before the red marker and let it play over that period. These are consistently reproducible for me.  Let me know if more info would be helpful.  Thanks!

@forestocean88 please give these a try:

You will notice that when you tap/drag/etc the rest of the screen controls will hide or appear in alternating fashion. That is because I'm toggling between clearing the screen of all overlays and back when you tap. I'll look at fixing that later, but I don't think its a big issue or distracts from video scrubbing. Your thoughts?

I’ve since fixed the toggling of controls issue when you are interacting with the video bar as well but it’s not part of your build.

[forestocean88]

Hello, thank you for making this build, and for fixing the controls toggle, too. I can confirm:  1.3.89 resolves the issue of clicking on the red motion bars to jump -- works great.  (I tested on MacOS only so far.) Thank you! This is great news.  I can help to test on iOS once it's pushed out, but don't have a way to deploy myself.
