Hey there @briis, @angellusmortis, @bdraco, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (unifiprotect
) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

The UniFi Protect integration is not responsible for streaming. It only provides the data needed for the stream
integration to work.

Fair enough. However, this only happens with HA. I have tried other platforms without issue. One thing I noticed is the Sensor list shows 'Low' and 'Medium' as being unavailable. I am thinking that the higher resolution might be causing some of choppiness. How can I make these available?
Read the docs I linked above. The delay is because you are likely using HLS. HLS is really bad for livestream and add a delay to the feed because of how it generating the keyframes works.
Yeah, try that. Took the example and added it to my .yaml and no difference. Any thoughts on the 'Unavailable' Low/Medium?
What kills me, this was working just fine prior to the official integration.
If you tried that, then the problem is on your end with your configuration and how you have the stream
integration setup.
Because, again, as I said before the UniFi Protect Integration does not handle streaming. There is literally zero difference in how the official integration sets up configures camera entities now in the official integration and 0.11 of the HACS integration. The only difference compared to 0.10 of the HACS integration is that all camera channels are exposed as entities instead of just the highest enabled quantity. If you made no changes between 0.10 and the official integration to your enabled camera channels, HA is still using the same ones for streaming.
The stream
integration has made a number of recent changes including LL HLS attempted to be enabled by default in 2022.2 (the same version the UniFi Protect Integration was made official). If you are having issues with streaming, you need to reach out to the maintainers of that integration because I do not know much beyond "it works on my machine".
The problem
Streaming video is massively delayed (e.g. 20-30 second) and is extremely choppy.
What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?
2022.3.3
What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?
Unsure, but was working using RTSPS when that was supported
What type of installation are you running?

Additional information
Purchased, per the recommendation of UniFi, a Western Digital Purple hard drive (type CMR). Video in the native UnIfi Protect app is super smooth and without any noticeable delay. However, the HA integration is delayed, a lot. There also does not appear to be a way to adjust the resolution of the video. IT is always labeled 'High', which might be the cause. The RTSPS option seemed better when it was working, I think version 1.4 of the HACS repo which is now deprecated.
