## Summary
- Collapse `live_substream_{on,off,select}` into a unified
`substream_{on,off}` pair, symmetric with `call_{start,end}`.
- Rename the `camera` field on the former `live_substream_select` to
`stream` (it always was a stream ID).
- Add optional `camera` field to both new actions for targeting a
non-selected base camera.
- YAML configs are migrated automatically; URL bookmarks must be updated
by hand.
## Migration
### Cycling between camera and substream (toggle button)
Before:
```yaml
tap_action:
action: custom:advanced-camera-card-action
advanced_camera_card_action: live_substream_on
```
After:
```yaml
tap_action:
action: custom:advanced-camera-card-action
advanced_camera_card_action: substream_on
```
### Selecting a specific substream
Before:
```yaml
tap_action:
action: custom:advanced-camera-card-action
advanced_camera_card_action: live_substream_select
camera: camera.front_door_hd
```
After:
```yaml
tap_action:
action: custom:advanced-camera-card-action
advanced_camera_card_action: substream_on
stream: camera.front_door_hd
```
### Turning the substream off
Before:
```yaml
tap_action:
action: custom:advanced-camera-card-action
advanced_camera_card_action: live_substream_off
```
After:
```yaml
tap_action:
action: custom:advanced-camera-card-action
advanced_camera_card_action: substream_off
```
### URL querystrings (manual update required)
| Before | After |
| --- | --- |
|
`?advanced-camera-card-action.live_substream_select=camera.front_door_hd`
| `?advanced-camera-card-action.substream_on=camera.front_door_hd` |

you @Maudfer !
BREAKING CHANGE:
The microphone condition previously bundled two unrelated signals —
whether a two-way-audio session was connected and whether the microphone
was muted. Connection state is now its own dedicated call condition, and
microphone is reserved purely for mute state. Configs are upgraded
automatically (the card rewrites affected conditions under overrides,
elements, and automations). If you maintain config by hand, convert as
follows:
If you only used connected:
# Before
```yaml
condition: microphone
connected: true
```
# After
```yaml
condition: call
call: true
```
If you used both connected and muted — they must be split into two
conditions, since they no longer live together:
# Before
```yaml
condition: microphone
connected: true
muted: false
```
# After
```yaml
condition: and
conditions:
- condition: call
call: true
- condition: microphone
muted: false
```
- Add support for Frigate reviews / detections.
- Add support for GenAI metadata.
- Significant internal refactor to more flexible "UnifiedQuery" to allow
mixing cameras with simple metadata and review metadata (e.g. a timeline
view of a Frigate camera with reviews, and a Reolink camera with simple
metadata).
- Add support for folder media as camera media.
There are a few more PRs to commit prior to this going live, but
commiting this for now due to the scale of the change.
BREAKING CHANGE: `media_type` and `events_type` are retired under
`live`, `viewer` and `timeline` configuration sections, instead media
type is associated (once) with the camera under `media`.
Whilst the Frigate support in this card is the best among camera
engines, the name incorrectly suggests that Frigate is a requirement.
Instead, to broaden the appeal, change to more camera agnostic name.
This does not suggest any change in priority, role or support for
Frigate.
This change is likely to be bug prone, due to the size of the rename --
the code contains 1500+ references to "Frigate" most of which make sense
to rename, some which do not, all of which needed human assessment.
- Closes#1298
BREAKING CHANGE: References to `frigate-card` in all kinds of
configuration need to be updated to `advanced-camera-card`. An automated
config upgrade should take care of the majority of usecases (click `Edit
-> Upgrade -> Save`), though may not be perfect.
