Adds stream audio, fixes RTSP latency, and tightens up the on-tile controls.

New in v1.1.3

Audio from streams

Tiles that carry an audio track can now play it. Each tile has a speaker button next to the pin — tap to unmute, tap again to mute. Audio is off by default on every feed, so nothing starts making noise on its own, and each tile is independent: you can listen to one feed while the rest stay silent.

Unmuting an RTSP feed reconnects that tile, which takes a moment and adds a little latency while audio is on. That is a deliberate trade: muted RTSP playback uses the low-latency path, and audio requires the demuxing path. Mute again and the tile returns to the fast path.

Fixed in v1.1.3

RTSP latency

RTSP feeds from other EUDs had become noticeably delayed compared to ATAK's built-in player. Muted RTSP playback now uses the same low-latency connection path as the native player, so a feed on the wall tracks the one in ATAK.

Video no longer freezes when toggling audio

Switching a tile's audio on or off could freeze its video. The reconnect now happens off the UI thread, so the rest of the wall keeps rendering while that one tile re-establishes its stream.

Changed in v1.1.3

Smaller, cleaner tile controls

With three or more feeds on the wall the buttons crowded the video. Every visible control is smaller, and the close, pin, and speaker buttons now share one round enclosure style with the full-screen and add buttons. The full-screen and + buttons sit inline with the tile controls instead of below them, and the speaker uses a proper speaker glyph in the same single colour as the rest.

Official ATAK builds are version-matched — install the APK for your ATAK version:

APK ATAK version
ATAK-Plugin-TAKVideoWall-1.1.3--5.6.0-civ-release.apk ATAK-CIV 5.6.x
ATAK-Plugin-TAKVideoWall-1.1.3--5.7.0-civ-release.apk ATAK-CIV 5.7.x
ATAK-Plugin-TAKVideoWall-1.1.3--5.8.0-civ-release.apk ATAK-CIV 5.8.x

All three are TPC-signed release builds from the tak.gov third-party pipeline, and all report version 1.1.3 (versionCode 10103). This clears up the version labelling in v1.1.2, where the 5.8 APK displayed 1.1.3 in-app while carrying v1.1.2 code — every APK in this release is genuinely 1.1.3.

Upgrades apply cleanly over any previous release on MDM platforms, including Samsung Knox.
