Solved this issue by manually issuing the camera: turn on service.
How the heck the camera stream got turned off on this camera, and none other after the update is a mystery.
Hi Gary, there was a bug where the camera would report as being off if the substream was off, even if the main stream is on. When you issued the turn on service command, you turned on the camera substream, which worked around the problem. A fix for this is available by using an updated version of the amcrest package, which is included in the 2021.9.6 release.
great - thanks for the update and letting me know!
The problem
Upon upgrading to 2021.9.2 one of my Amcrest Cameras (IP2M-851B) is now unable to stream. Error says it is off, but it definitely is online and accessible. Status is Idle, not streaming. All other Amcrest cameras (different models) are streaming fine. This camera also streams RTSP via VLC and SmartPSS apps/
Enabled debug on camera and amcrest components and it shows that all API calls to this camera are connecting, except for the Stream request.
