[Feature Request] Ability to restart streaming after stopped

[Perlnx]

Hello,

I using WebRTC with FullyKiosk browser on tablet. Network connection to HA server using wired ethernet.

Sometime WebRTC stop streaming and need to refresh Lovelace to restart WebRTC although no connection drop from wired. Is it possible to add ability to restart streaming after it stopped or add timeout to reset connection after error occurred ?

It should use auto restart already

First time when I create this topic. My camera entities configure using UDP transport and I though this can cause interrupt when streaming. Now I changed to TCP, Streaming seem smoother but it just suddenly stop on 17:00

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOaaFjEG0hs I record video to show you It not restart automatically. It just spinning indicator forever.

As you saw uptime. It work well for a day without stop. And there are no network & camera connectivity issue from HA on 17:00

Update: Now It's 19:06 and still not reset.

You can check debug logs for more info https://github.com/AlexxIT/WebRTC#debug

This is error from main Home Assistant code. I don't know if it because of WebRTC. But seems like it breaks WebRTC component.

The lasted error from supervisor It came from when I update supervisor today. Not sure about EOF message. Is that relate to keyframe ? Since my substream using default 50 with framerate 20.

I will try to restart HA to clear log and collect info again tomorrow.

websocket EOF it is normal situation. Lovelace breakes connection to server when WebRTC starts streaming.

[Perlnx]

I see, Can you tell me which line that Lovelace breaks connection. So I will ask the other next.

Today it stopped on 22:09.

This is HA log (I didn't do anything with HA this day)

Seem like It always stopped after 1 day of streaming.

I am experiencing this problem too. Every once in a while the image gets lost on my dashboard. Refreshing the screen reloads the camera correctly.

Sorry to hear this. I'm give up and roll back to picture entity instead. Since the debug log can't find anything relate to this and I cannot fix this by myself.

Actually I just need ability to auto refresh playback after message Error: No Video appear.
