Camera streams stop or are very laggy in Home Assistant v2024.11

Open LodeBo opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

I have two Reolink cameras in HA ( model CX410 and Reolink video doorbell POE). Until version 2024.10 they worked flawless using RTSPtoWeb-WebRTC.

Now since version 2024.11 camerastreams are very laggy or just stop. I removed the build-in go2rtc integration from the default_config but no luck.

In a second attempt I removed RTSPtoWeb-WebRTC and only ran the build-in go2rtc integration but no luck.

In can’t see any abnormality in the logs.

It's pretty hard to fix something like that without being able to repeat it. I admit RTSPtoWeb can work with Reolink cameras better than go2rtc. Reolink cameras are known for their glitchy RTSP protocol. I wonder if anyone has managed to work with it without glitches. Need to try it on my glitchy Reolink camera.

Thx voor your reply. What I don’t understand is that i removed go2rtc from the default_config. So the integration is removed from HA core. But I still get those bad streams. When I go back to the previous version of HA it works as it should be.

If the time bar works (white) in the video player - you are watching an HLS stream. If the bar is off (gray) - you are watching WebRTC.

The time bar is white but according to the RTSPWebRTC-Webrtc integration i'm watching WebRTC. HLS stream is very laggy but my videostream is fast so i assume i'm watching WebRTC

Time bar for WebRTC always disabled. So you not watching WebRTC.

I think i don’t understand what you are trying to say. Sorry for that. In Home Assistant I have a picture entity card that displays my camera stream. I can see the time and date in white color.

Hello, I also have some issues with my cameras since 2024.11. All worked flawlessly before, even when I was away, and now, since 2024.11, I can only see my video feeds for a few seconds before it stops playing. The brand of my devices is Comelit, I have a Comelit NVR and I am using the ONVIF integration with TCP connection to the NVR. I am trying to find a way to disable webrtc since this update. I do not have a Nabu Casa account, so I can't access the webrtc option that I understand should rside under the Home Assistant Cloud parametrers. How can I manage to disable webrtc in order to revert to the way it worked before 2024.11 ?

@yaonos it's better to ask your question in the HA repo.

PS. WebRTC may work for you without NabuCasa account. It depends on the network settings of your internet provider.
