Describe what you are trying to accomplish and why in non technical terms
I am hoping for a way to allow more specific behavior of the live/group camera views.

Describe the solution you'd like
Ideally, I would like a setting (or view mode, whatever ends up being best on the backend) to make the general live view and group camera streams always show detect (substream), and then if clicked to show single view always show record (main) stream.

Right now, it is my understanding that the main camera view will show the substream until there is motion detected, at which point it will then show the main stream. While I can see how some might like this, it is not my preference. I keep my cameras open on a tablet attached to an arm on my desk, and have it running all the time with both interior and exterior cameras. We have a good number of pets, so there is always motion somewhere, and I want the actual recording functionality of when an object type I have listed is detected, it will record high quality, but I don't need the visualization of this on screen to constantly switch between main and substream.

I do however, want to ensure that when I click on a specific camera to view it, regardless of if there is motion detected or not, it always shows the main stream.

Additional context
All other NVR software I have used (I currently use Blue Iris, but have been testing this, Scrypted, and any others I have came across), this is either the default behavior of any main/general view, so I was somewhat surprised that it has been so difficult to obtain this behavior. (difficult as in time-consuming, trying different approaches of configuration, but none seem to create the desired end result).

Though, I am wondering if it may be a bug that is preventing this from working as I expect it to. I have Frigate installed via LXC container on Proxmox and spent several days configuring and testing to ensure I have everything setup correctly, both hardware and software/configuration wise, and after reviewing dozens of posts, other peoples configurations, etc, I am pretty sure I do, but the actual observed behavior of the camera view seems to do whatever it wants.

Example being, if I restart the entire Frigate LXC container and give it a minute to get started and settled, go to the main UI view, click on a camera, sometimes (that first time) I will get the main stream to show (usually not). After that first time, subsequent attempts of hitting the back arrow to view all cameras again, then clicking on the same camera again to view it as a single camera, it will pretty much always display the substream.

Essentially, I would just like to be able to define consistent behavior of the view (as opposed to the dynamic switching between substream and main stream), and ensure the clicked single camera view is always main stream, regardless of motion.

Thank you for your consideration,
-MH
