Preview / still image - Githubissues

maximemoreillon commented 10 months ago

Description

Hello,

Thank so much for this amazing component. I managed to successfully integrate a C100 and C310 in my Home Assistant instance.

The only issue I have is that I can't seem to be getting previews / still images for the cameras' cards, should that be the HD or SD streams.

I can see the streams without problems if I click the cards.

Also, if I integrate the cameras as "generic cameras" using the RTSP URL in Home Assistant, previews are generated without problems.

Reproduction Steps

Register a Tapo C310 or C100 camera and using the default configuration

Expected behavior

Having previews / still images of the streams

If applicable, add error logs.

I am not sure if this is related but I get the following console output from Home Assistant

[haffmpeg.tools] Timeout reading image.

Camera is probably overloaded by too many concurrent streams (generating a preview opens another instance of stream). The logic of this integration works the same as the official ha Onvif integration.

As a workaround you can use live view or even better, webrtc integration.
