## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 2026.11.01 — 2026-10-25

- Auto Start: pick a camera or group in Settings › Playback. It starts streaming when CoreView launches, or when you come back after at least five minutes away.
- Name your devices: give each device its own name under Account. Several Apple TVs, iPads or Macs are now easy to tell apart in your device list and in LAN Sync.
- LAN Sync: each nearby device now shows whether it has the same configuration as this one. A three-word fingerprint shows where your configuration came from, and you're warned before a sync would overwrite changes made on this device.
- Faster UniFi Protect: camera lists load instantly from a cache and refresh in the background, so Protect cameras start playing sooner, especially on large systems.
- More reliable UniFi Protect: systems with many cameras that connect with an API key no longer get locked out by Protect's request limits.
- Clearer UniFi Protect errors: a wrong port, a cloud address or a missing Local Network permission now says what's wrong and which address to use.
- You can add the same UniFi Protect camera more than once.
- Editing a camera now loads its available streams.
- Folder cards now highlight on hover, like camera cards.

iPhone & iPad
- Background Audio: keep hearing your cameras when the screen is off or CoreView is in the background. It's off by default; turn it on in Settings › Playback.
