Events' sticky player on the right side

Wouldn't it make sense to have the player fixed on the right side, while the event cards be unlimited scrolled in the middle, for desktops?
And how relevant is still this events view considering there's an experimental ui in the works?

That's an interesting approach, would mean the first video needs to be selected by default or there would be a lot of empty space.

And the experimental UI hasn't been changed since 0.11, it doesn't support the latest live views. There will most likely be a different solution that is implemented in an upcoming release

Perhaps a video player not playing, or the default birdseye image.

What about native scrolling vs a light dependency?

I just reviewed the 2 player options in the works

• Initial Recordings UI #1155 (comment)
  ui seems old fashioned

• Nest "Sightline" like recording scrolling #2230
  ui looks modern

Let's say the second one is chosen over the first one, following that design pattern https://youtu.be/DdchTdYo8KA?t=751
we'll probably still need a 'full history' view, like the revamped events view i propose here. Where in mobile, videos would open up fullscreen, instead of the current accordeon behaviour.

Speaking from personal point of view. I don't care about detection that much, but existing UI is a big deal breaker for the adoption. I would go and purchase 5 more IP cameras today and climb the attic to replace the existing Nest cameras if UI had a proper timeline and mobile browser support.

To be clear the UI is currently being rewritten from the ground up, there is no reason to continue to advocate for a new UI

I'm very interested in seeing your ideas... can you share the mockups?

[NickM-27]

The UI rewrite is already very much in progress (as can be seen by the activity in dev). It is not currently in a place where we are looking for feedback and is rapidly changing so in general not recommended for users to run

[NickM-27]

for those who missed it, the new UI has been announced #11136

Please don't get me wrong I don't mean to offer any input whatsoever, just curious... Not looking to run it or anything like that. Pinky promise. Only wanna take a look. A few screenshots would kill the curiosity... Just trying to see where it's heading. I promise to bite my tongue.
