Tapo app is unable to play recordings on the Hub but only for one of my cameras.
I have 2 C420 cameras connected to an H200 hub, and use the iPhone version of the Tapo app.
Both cameras are showing the live feed successfully in the app. Both cameras are recording successfully on the Hub (the files on the micro-SD card can be played on a laptop). But the recordings for one camera cannot be played via the app, although the recordings for the other camera can be played ok. The app knows the recordings are there as the dates in the Calendar selection are blue on the days recordings are present. But the app says "No Recordings" when a day with recordings is chosen, but only for one camera. Historic recordings for the other camera play perfectly.
This problem happened to me a month ago and the support team solved it quickly with a new release of the firmware for the Hub. But the problem is back, I don't know exactly when it reappeared. My Hub firmware is up to date. Is it a software Release Management issue - has the fix been dropped from from a later version in error?

Hello everyone,
@RayM56 Thank you very much for sharing feedback on the 'Tapo app is unable to play recordings on the Hub but only for one of my cameras.'
Here are the suggestions on this issue.
Description:
When the Tapo battery-powered camera(such as Tapo C400, C420, etc.) works with Tapo H200 and has a microSD card inserted into the hub, you may encounter the issue that the video recordings are there since the dates on the Tapo app>Camera's Playback page>Calendar selection page are blue, but the app says "No Recordings" when a day with recordings is chosen.
Model: Tapo H200, HW:V1, FW: 1.2.19 Build 20230627 rel.61578 & the previous verisons
Solution:
We have a new beta firmware based on the latest version (1.2.19) to solve the problem. Please provide the MAC address of the H200 to support.forum@tp-link.com with the email tile 'Forum ID 614598+ Tapo H200+ Description' if you'd like to try the beta firmware, and then our support will continue to help with your case.

Hi, I think you have updated the beta firmware so the camera and the hub work fine again. It's suggested to pay attention to the new firmware notification on the Tapo app and keep your firmware up to date since the next official firmware is planned to solve the issue.

Thanks. Yes I have auto update switched on, so if you made the beta release available to my device, it found it and updated. I'll leave auto update on to pick up the fix in the permanent release. Thank you and the team for your help.
