Dashcast webrtc using a RTSP url does not work anymore!

[atv2016]

I feel this is something of the last 2 days maybe, seems to coincide with either webrtc or homeassistant update, but a regular webrtc dash cast using a rtsp to a chromecast v1 just shows as Dashcast, you can see it loading the url like normal, then a black screen.

I restarted HA, frigate (i use re-streamed urls), but nothing.

I can connect to the RTSP urls using VLC no problem.

I had the same. Something changed to the YAML Code (HA Update). Re-add the DashCast to your automation and it will work again Old YAML: New Working YAML with Service:

Nice! I'll try that out. It will be a lot of automations i have to check..

Was this announced as a breaking change that you know off? Wish they wouldn't keep breaking stuff.

I'm having some success use the force:true option actually. Things seem to cast normally now.

i've to force too to cast cameras on my android TV and nest hub device. Have to stop cast manually too, otherwise it will not accept new cast (i.e. to change camera source) i'm using entity added as generic_cam, not rtsp url

service: webrtc.dash_cast
data:
  entity_id: media_player.cucina
  entity: camera.box_cam
  force: true

Any news about this workaround?

It is true that the entity_id now should be part of data. The indent is wrong for extra: but then again, I can't get it to work anymore either. Something is broken somewhere.

Do casting to a chromecast device work for you now?

I managed to get around this, after a set time i just play a 2 second mp3 file to the chromecast. It then finishes on it's own and will accept another cast.

Can you please share your configuration ?
