[Streaming]: Streaming works locally but not using external network or LTE/5G

sa3eedo12 commented 1 year ago

Streaming Issue

This issue has been driving me crazy, my HomeBridge instance is deployed on a Synology NAS which is connected to the same network as my AppleTV 4K. I don't have any vLANs or subnets, I have UPNP enabled, ALG disabled entirely, no firewall on the NAS or on the router.

I've tried restarting the Apple TV, HomeBridge, my devices, and the router but unfortunately this hasn't solved anything.

Proposed Solution

I could be wrong, but based on the logs it appears that the stream size is too large for remote streaming. Perhaps adding a way to reduce the bitrate might resolve the issue.

Environment

Homebridge

What operating system are you on?

Linux

Honesty Time

I can confirm I have the exact same issue: video streaming works either locally or if connected remotely with another WiFi network. If connected with Cellular network streaming doesn't work (Homebridge running on a Raspberry PI here).

Perhaps offering the possibility to change the Video Codec and Straming Parameters (like for example it's possible in Homebridge Camera.UI Plugin) could be helpful.

dgreif commented 1 year ago

Changing the video codec or streaming quality is not something I'd like to add. That would require video to be transcoded by the plugin, rather than just passed through. This requires significantly more CPU, and will not work well on some lower end devices. If this issue came about after updating to the newest "Home" version, there likely isn't anything I can do to correct it.
