I just tried to add a ScrollViewer it goes to the bottom of the list however not the root of the page.
And I get an error now when playing the emulator.
Thanks
- Ctrl-X the current root Grid
- Add a new ScrollViewer
- CTRL-V your clipboard
That works its at the top now
Cheers
Thanks for your help guys ! Everything is working as I wanted now.
The only thing I cannot figure out is if its possible to have my new page displayed when I click on a Group - sub menu item, rather than having to select it from the main menu on the left.
Cheers.
You could use a plugin to create a virtual Device object for it & assign your new page as the DetailsTemplate for the Device. Then you can add it to your groups just like any other actual device.
Correct. You may need to choose a TileTemplate too. You can choose many of the existing. A lot of them are generic that will work for almost any device. “AccelerationSensorTile.xaml” will work for your purposes. That way you can see the DisplayName & Icon. You could also copy-paste that file to create a new one if you want to customize it a bit.
I see it now shows a Tile that when I press it then takes my to this new “List View” page.
So I guess its not possible to just show the page without having to click on that tile first.
Not with the auto generated “Groups” pages. You could create a TabbedPage & add ListView1.xaml as a Tab.
You do not have to use those auto generated “Group” pages. That feature can be disabled in MainPage.xaml. Here’s an example I posted in the old Google Group. This will kind of walk you through that process.

Yes I realised that, but all my pages which are many, I’ve used the Group pages, as its just the easiest way for newbie’s to get a functioning dashboard app up and running.
Unless I had the skills to create something like John’s dashboard which I haven’t, I think I’ll be sticking to mainly using the Group pages for some time to come yet.
Thanks again, I can live with a Tile for now.
In fact I posted a video on Youtube of what I had manage to get setup so far.

Look at that example I shared. Most of these pages you create will only exist of 1 control, the DeviceBrowser.

Thanks for sharing this video! Wow, you do have quite a few groups. You would have to create quite a few of these custom pages. Although those pages would be simple, it’d still be a lot of pages you don’t currently need. Yeah, I don’t really have a simple solution for you right now. The current Groups page generation is restricted to those tile/detail DeviceBrowser layouts.
That Kodi demo was pretty cool!
So are those RTSP streams working for you now? Or were those JPEG / MJPEG in the video?
RTSP was still kind of a work in progress when you reported this issue in the forum. There have been quite a few changes to that since. If you want, maybe give them another try. Not that 1 is really better than the other. I was just curious what you are currently using.
No I gave up on the Rtsp streams as the previews were bleeding over to other tiles and I had other issues with the detailed view showing the wrong feed possibly? I forget now.
I can test the Rtsp streams again at some point.
Those in the video are custom tiles with JPG previews and Mjpg detailed / full screen etc.
Did you spot the Baby Yoda easter egg on the camera haha.
That bleeding over is actually still an issue if you have 2 wide 16:9 tiles side-by-side. You are probably better off with JPEG/MJPEG. It’s easier & simpler, since no decoding is needed.
I did, LOL 
The indoor cameras are just the Android tablets own onboard forward facing camera. I am using TinyCam Pro app on each tablet to server up a camera stream.
The outdoor cameras are professional Hikvision ones and the Doorbell is an Ezviz DB1.
The Ezviz DB1 has no JPG / MJPG streams only Rtsp. So running that through Blue Iris on my Windows server to then give me a JPG / MJPG stream.
Imperihome was meant to support Rtsp but I could never get it working with authentication so I was forced to use JPG / MJPG streams with Imperihome.

This is an old video, but of my Imperihome setup. It’s been updated a bit since then but give you idea what I’ve been using for years now.
