Feed display

Hi,

I don't have a subscription I use a memory card in base station to view recordings.

since this terrible app update the feed doesn't show any vids, doesn't let me choose between local or cloud like before the update.

To view videos now I have to press - devices - base station - storage settings

and 1 day is displayed on that page.

Does anyone know if the feed can be changed or display my local storage, or am I stuck with storage settings to view any vids. thanks

The feed > local side is very messy and buggy. First you see it blank, but you can swipe it down, refresh it and see local recordings. Note, though --- even if local records are now shown, the date grouping is simply wrong, and repeatedly redundant. Basically zero testing of high school student coding.

On the devices > base station > storage settings side, yes it shows only 1 day, but you can change which day by clicking the calendar on upper right corner (for my android app here). Personally I don't mind it showing just 1 day, since otherwise it would take much longer trying to show more days in a single go (which is the case for feed > local, refreshed)

You should see more than one day on that page.

I think this is a bug. I was seeing "Cloud" and "Local" options on the "Feed" page, but they disappeared with the most recent app update. You'll have to wait for Arlo to fix it.

@StephenB , which update version? I'm using Android 5.3.2 with few issues seeing Local. If it doesn't show, I just switch to a different screen and then back. I haven't tried @alex_loo 's solution.

iPhone running 5.3.2. Cloud/Local does not appear at all. Switching to a different screen and back again doesn't work around that.

@alex_loo's swipe-it-down doesn't apply, since that only works if you can navigate into local to begin with - which I can't do.
