DW Spectrum 6.1: liveOnly / nonIndexable objects appear in Objects tab while recording
Hello.
I’m working with an Analytics Plugin in a DW Spectrum / Nx VMS environment using the Metadata SDK.
I have a question about the `liveOnly` and `nonIndexable` object type flags.
In DW Spectrum 6.0 and earlier, when one of these flags was enabled for an object type, the corresponding objects were not shown in the Objects tab at all. That was the behavior I expected and the behavior I need.
However, in DW Spectrum 6.1, objects with these flags are still appearing in the Objects tab, even though I expect them to be completely hidden there. Also, when they appear, they are often not shown with their actual object type. Instead, they appear as `<Unknown track>`.
At first glance, it looks like the behavior is normal because the objects do not appear in the tab immediately. But if I switch to another tab and come back, or scroll down and then back up, they appear in the list.

In some cases, the object is initially displayed with the correct object type, but later changes to `<Unknown track>`.
This issue only happens when the channel is recording. If the channel is not recording, the issue does not occur.
I also checked the Nx VMS version itself, and I could not reproduce the issue there. So far, it seems to happen only on the DW Spectrum 6.1 version.
If I do not set these flags, the objects are displayed as expected and do not become `<Unknown track>`. However, the mode I need is the one with the flags enabled.
My understanding is that `liveOnly` objects should not be stored in the archive/database, and `nonIndexable` objects should not be indexed/searchable. So my final goal is not just to avoid the `<Unknown track>` label. I need the same behavior as in DW Spectrum 6.0, where these flagged objects do not appear in the Objects tab at all.
Could you please let me know if there is any known difference in DW Spectrum 6.1 related to analytics object storage/indexing while recording, or if there is a recommended way to keep `liveOnly` / `nonIndexable` objects completely hidden from the Objects tab as they were in DW Spectrum 6.0?
Thank you.
