Although I can't play the video, I think I have the same issue: Clock in and Clock out create appropriate entries below task, but it isn't reflected on timeline. Also when Clocked in, no active clocks are shown

Im on MacOS Sequoia.

Facing the same issue

[peperonnii]

after some experimenting, i found that setting the sources fixes the issue. click then options on the day planner and then specify the tag, for example, of the notes you are tracking.

[peperonnii]

i believe that this isnt the intended functionality. i think the author intended non "filtered" notes to have time tracking. perhaps this is a feature not implemented, a limitation of dataview etc.

I think this is still a bug so i wont close the issue.

[wrgrant]

Agreed this is a bug.

I did implement the filtering as shown in the screenshots from the README and found that the clocks work now.

In my case, my journal notes are in VAULT/journal/daily so I added "journal/daily" as the filter and it works now.

[mkos]

Yeah, I did like @wrgrant have done (i.e. used "journal/daily" as a filter, but the downside of it is that now tasks in the entire note are shown, not only those in the section Day planner. So if I have a section Tomorrow and tasks that later will be moved to the next note, they will appear in the timeline nevertheless and make it harder to plan the day.

The same problem，not work.

[hugovalepereira]

I am experiencing the same problem. I also found that applying a filter resolves the issue. However, it doesn't seem to matter whether the tag is related to any of the tasks being clocked. Any tag present anywhere in the daily note causes the Active Clocks to display as expected.

Examples:

Filtering for #test — Both clocks appear:

Filtering for #other — Both clocks appear:

Without any filters — Nothing shows:
