Full size video feed restricted to preview size in generic camera

[Axsgranted]

The problem

I believe the recent change from: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/71269

that added new Camera preview functionality to the entity, created an issue with the full size Video feed. It's now restricted to the preview size (580x320), introduced by this change, when Selecting a Video feed, of a Generic IP Camera, from an entity card.

Video windows size, prior to this change was working as original Feed Resolution.

@Axsgranted I think it is very unlikely that the preview feature introduced this problem.

The preview only works for the still image, and creates an independent preview URL. The creation of the final camera entity should not have been changed by the PR.

Please can you describe:

• steps to reproduce
• what you expected to happen
• what actually happened? (Ideally using a publicly available camera url)

@davet2001 confirmed have this issue

update to 2022.11

touch or click on camera preview and camera opens to live full screen popup

camera pops up live view in the same size as preview on dash.

[davet2001]

To avoid confusion, the preview in #71269 refers to a temporary image that is displayed while configuring the camera settings on the UI.

Is the issue here referring to the small image 'preview' on the dashboard that you click to show the stream?

@uvjustin @hunterjm any ideas on what this might be?

[rchiileea]

the preview on dashboard is fine, its when you click to show stream, the size has changed from almost full screen to a size simular to the preview

[uvjustin]

Seems like a frontend issue that has been resolved: https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/13581

maybe the update caused it to pop back up 2022.11.1?

[rchiileea]

Tried with various intergrations to rule them being the cause out, generic, onvif etc, have also noticed that one feed actually is not showing the live stream when clicked as well, going to shut down the server a few times to double check.

[uvjustin]

Which browser are you using? Have you tried it in a different browser? This is likely a frontend issue, and frontend behavior can vary between browsers. (FWIW I tried it on Windows MS Edge and the behavior seems similar to what you describe)

[rchiileea]

so Its the same on ms edge, chrome, firefox and fully kiosk

[uvjustin]

Actually, try clicking on the text (In your case "Drive Way Camera"). That should toggle the settings window size.

that worked, is that new then as it just popped up full before?

[uvjustin]

I haven't followed all the frontend changes, but it does seem like the behavior has changed somewhat. See https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/pull/14179 for more info. Closing this as it's not a core issue.

[Scope666]

My 2 cents, the extra click is kind of annoying. 9 times out of 10 if you're clicking on the video thumbnail, it's because you want to see it bigger.

[uvjustin]

I agree. Perhaps open an issue on the frontend repo?
