Feature and stability release.

New in v1.1.1

Pinned (persistent) feeds

Every tile now carries a pin control (☆/★). A pinned feed — an always-on fixed camera, a DOT feed — survives liveness checks and comes back automatically after ATAK restarts, plugin updates, and reboots. Closing a pinned tile unpins it.

Saved feeds in the drawer

The feed list now has two sections: STREAMING NOW (live CoT senders) and LIVE - SAVED FEEDS (ATAK's saved video aliases). Fixed cameras with no CoT presence are finally addable to the wall.

Saved-feed liveness filtering

Saved RTSP aliases are checked with an RTSP DESCRIBE — the same question a player asks before setup — so aliases with no stream behind them stay off the list. Verdicts only change on an affirmative server answer; network hiccups never blink a row (sustained unreachability still clears it). Aliases the server refuses to answer for (missing/rejected credentials, non-RTSP protocols) are always shown rather than risk hiding a working feed.

Other improvements

  • Closing the last tile opens the feed list directly instead of an empty-wall screen
  • Migrated to ATAK's stable video API (gov.tak.api)
  • Larger, styled play control in the feed list
