Black screen - no other logs

[stepir]

Hello!

I'm running HA Supervisor 2023.03.2 Frontend 20230309.1 - latest and WebRTC Camera add-on v3.1.0

with the following card:

type: custom:webrtc-camera
url: rtsp://192.168.1.169:554/live

but it will only display a black image

either in MSE or WEBRTC

type: custom:webrtc-camera
url: rtsp://192.168.1.169:554/live
mode: webrtc

I have error log level set to

logger:
  default: warning
  logs:
    custom_components.webrtc: debug

But logs only show this:

I'm a bit lost... what I could look at to understand what's happening?

Thanks

PS:

the above is the one configured just using a picture entity card:

show_state: false
show_name: false
camera_view: live
type: picture-entity
camera_image: camera.192_168_1_169
entity: camera.192_168_1_169

nothing I'm clueless, I've tried installing just go2rtc on my Mac and increase log level to debug but there is nothing justifying the black streak...

I have a similar issue - the stream will work for approx an hour then stop with the blackscreen. If I open the configuration page for the go2rtc add-in and press save/restart the streams start again for another hour

My browsers (Chrome and Edge) shows "loading2" in RTC mode. However, I'm able to see my cameras on my iPhone in RTC mode. I'm wondering if it has some issue with webrtc for browsers?

[stepir]

in my case it won't work either in browser or HA app for iOS and android - it would only work if I access the rtsp stream of webrtc of the same camera...

[stepir]

had a doubt this could be related to the fact my viewer was behind a vpn. Not the case as the issue is still present even when all the actors are local (tsp camera, ha+webrtc+viewer)

so I discovered that if I looks for available links and use this:

http://192.168.1.241:1984/api/stream.m3u8?src=rtsp://192.168.1.169:554/live

It actually work and latency is at least half of a generic camera pointing to my rtsp stream...

The problem is that if a create a generic camera pointing to that http address it will only work for few seconds, then black screen again.

[stepir]

and

type: custom:webrtc-camera
url: 'http://192.168.1.241:1984/api/stream.m3u8?src=rtsp://192.168.1.169:554/live'

produce:

I have a similar issue

@stepir well. You using iPhone that doesn't support MSE technology. And you can't use WebRTC technology because VPN. m3u8 works for you because it made by Apple (HLS technology). But WebRTC card doesn't support this format.

[stepir]

Thanks for clarifying
