I encounter the same error on my C200 but only seeing the second stack trace:

Nevertheless, when manually opening the URL rtsp://username:password@IP-Address:554/stream1 (or stream2) with the identical connection data and credentials I can see the stream.

I am not sure if it is exactly the same error, but I would be happy to get a solution.

I have the same error on my C100 and C210 cameras. I can view the video stream in homekit no problem, it just clogs up my homebridge logs.

I also have an additional error, "Invalid device confirm", which always occurs 3 seconds after the error above.

Hi all, I got the same issue. But then I realized that the tapo password is different than stream password.

1. Tapo password is password that we enter when we login to Tapo apps
2. Stream password is password that we set in Camera account.

After changing the password, the error above is disappear
