Home Assistant Reolink stream lost audio after update from 1.6.0 -> 1.6.1 & 1.6.2

[porly1985]

my reolink outdoor e1 camera lost the audio stream while updating to 1.6.1 or 1.6.2. Restoring backup to 1.6.0 all works fine. When I save&restart the recent config (without changing anything) it works for a while. Then after a while or after Home Assistant restart its lost again.

I also installed new Reolink firmware today, but it didnt help.

my config:

streams:
  camera.garage_main:
    - rtsp://admin:password@192.168.178.66
    - ffmpeg:camera.garage_main#audio=opus

It seems like its skipping the ffmpeg encoding for some reason.

The error="wrong response on DESCRIBE" occures with another camera. I guess its another topic since I had it before as well.

Have 2 Reolinks RLC-510WA, working perfect with same set up. Try - ffmpeg:camera.garage_main#audio=pcma/16000

[porly1985]

Hi alexreddy78, thank you for your suggestion. I tried it with the pcma/16000 audio codec but unfortunately its still not working...

[porly1985]

Just tested different codecs. Same behaviour. On 1.6.2/1.6.1 its working for a while, after some time or HA restart the ffmpeg encoding part is skipped/ignored and the audio is gone. Have to stay on 1.6.0 and hope for a fix

[porly1985]

I just switched from Wifi to LAN for my reolink cameras to improve connection stability. For now I have the following Cameras installed:

• 2 x E1 outdoor
• 1 x E1 Zoom

all cameras have the newest firmware and the same go2rtc configuration:

streams:
  camera.cameraname_main:
    - rtsp://admin:password@192.168.178.XX
    - ffmpeg:camera.cameraname_main#audio=opus

Switching from go2rtc 1.6.0 to 1.6.1/1.6.2 the behaviour of all cameras with the loss of audio is the same. There is also a latency issue in the new version, while the streams are all perfectly synchronized with almost zero latency delay on 1.6.0, in the 1.6.2 version I have delays up to 10 seconds.

For me go2rtc works amazing on the version 1.6.0 but of course I would be very happy to use future benefits and improvements of this addon.

It was fix for OPUS in the v1.6.1. Maybe it related to issue https://github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc/issues/522

[porly1985]

Hi Alex, just updated to the new release 1.7.0. Still without audio or are there new config options? I also noticed stream delays about 2 seconds with the new version. I went back to 1.6.0. again.

Hi @porly1985,

answering you here instead of #699 to not mix the topics. I still have audio on both of my (working) reolink cams on go2rtc version 1.8.1 in Frigate (running as container with embedded go2rtc, but replaced by 1.8.1).
