feat request: show spinner over source instead of screenshot when viewing an MJPEG stream

[krishtoautomate]

The problem

Mjpeg video mode is still showing loader when tap is called though it is video/screen cast

Environment

• I am running Appium Desktop version 2022.5.4.
• I am on (pick one):
  • [ ] Mac

[jlipps]

the loader does show while the hierarchy is being refreshed. could that be what's happening?

[krishtoautomate]

Yes thats correct. I think, video doesn't need refresh as it is live already. Only pagesource should be loaded.

[jlipps]

Sure, this issue can be converted into a feature request for the spinner to be shown over the source tree instead if we're in MJPEG mode

[krishtoautomate]

also this feature works only if i run iproxy command in parallel in a terminal for mjpeg port

[jlipps]

that's expected. appium doesn't do anything special for real devices as far as port forwarding, I don't think.

Feature has been added in version 2023.6.1. FYI @krishtoautomate
