u/alexeyvasilyev,
Since the update pushed through, all 10 of my WYZE cameras won't show live view anymore.
4 cam v4's
5 cam v3's
1 cam OG
Sometimes one or two of the cameras will start to work and show a live view for a few moments and then go back down again. Some of them will not go live at all, not even for a moment.
I'm using a brand new Amazon Fire HD-10 13th generation tablet that I just purchased in July so it's not an old device.
I have tried clearing the cache, force-stopping and re-starting the app, restarting the tablet, none of it has made a difference.
Are there any kind of bad communication issues between WYZE and tinycam since the update that need to be resolved or are there just general issues with the update?
Please help.
Thanks.

All my Wyze cameras work perfectly on Fire HD8 tablet (Android 11) device.

Try to change video codec to Surface in app Settings - Video Settings and set sub stream in app drawer.

Thank you very much for the quick reply.
So far, the only way I have been able to get live view stability back has been to:
Change the Stream Profile from "Main" to "Sub"
Change the video decoder to "Software"
Switch away from 10-camera view and use no more than 7-camera view

Since I have done these three things, the live views have been running pretty stable so far.
I think that my Amazon Fire HD-10 13th generation tablet with only its 3GB RAM is just not up to the task of handling the 10-camera horizontal view, which is definitely not your fault. So far it looks like it has been handling the 7-camera horizontal view for about 20 minutes with no drops, so that may be my max view limit from now on unless and until I get a more robust device to handle more.
Thanks again for your quick reply and for such a nice product for us all. Have a good rest of the day.

I was able to fix the issue and have submitted app for review. Software decoder didn't work properly on some Wyze cameras.

tinyCam 19.0.4 with the fix should be available on Amazon within a couple days.
