Error opening RTSP stream from Lollipop baby camera

[WazzA1987]

Thanks for your efforts with this integration, it’s awesome for me as an IT novice.

My Lollipop RTSP stream works live with VLC but I seem to only get a black screen in webrtc/go2rtc. Probably my config but see error message log below, could this be the reason?

14:10:45.813 DBG [webrtc] add consumer error="streams: wrong response on DESCRIBE"

Webrtc card—:

type: custom:webrtc-camera
url: rtsp://192.168.0.13:554/live/<id>/ch00_0

config.yaml—:

streams:
lollipop:  rtsp://192.168.0.13:554/live/<id>/ch00_0

log:
level: info
api: debug
rtsp: debug
streams: debug
webrtc: debug

(sorry not sure how to copy YAML or do indentation in github to copy/paste properly.

appreciate any help.

Have you tried all recommendations? https://github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc?tab=readme-ov-file#source-rtsp

Hi @AlexxIT i managed to trial and error get it working.

url: >- ffmpeg:rtsp://192.168.0.13:554/live/<id>/ch00_0#video=h264

Looks like you got to the item - use transcoding with ffmpeg source.

@WazzA1987 Hey, a completely unrelated question: how do I get the "id" part of the url?

Hey mate, I sold the Lollipo, kids are old now :( from memory, dont update the FW or it gets tricky (depending what version you are already running)
