ESP32Cam camera.record

[leoMehlig]

Operating environment/Installation (Hass.io/Docker/pip/etc.):

Hass.io v0.93.0

ESP (ESP32/ESP8266, Board/Sonoff):

ESP32 Cam

Affected component:

ESP32 Cam

Description of problem: The camera component works fine in home assistant, but when trying to record the stream it displays an error, that that is not supported.

Did I do something wrong or is that just not supported?

Can you update to show the actual error message that you're getting?

Here is the error log from an Automation that calls the service

@leoMehlig you might want to remove your wifi & api credentials from the yaml file you have posted there

[leoMehlig]

Oh... thanks @pmaciocia

Yes this is correct, ESPHome uses something similar to MJPEG, and thus does not support the HA stream component. That includes HA's record service.

There was a longer discussion about this (I think HA's discord, somewhere in #beta maybe).

Anyway, this would need to be solved on the HA side (namely an MJPEG to RTSP converter)
