[Feature Request] - Url or file as source instead of camera #30

Closed thrawnarn closed 3 years ago

thrawnarn commented 3 years ago

It would be great to be able to use an url or a file for source instead of camera.

Use case I'm using Frigate as NVR- software and when using the official HA-component for Frigate it creates all cameras in HA with a max height of 277px. I've found that that is a little bit to small for my setup when running plates. It would be great to be able to set an url directly to my Frigate instance where I can access a full resolution image of the camera feed.

ah, I saw now in the HA-documentation that this is a HA-related limitation :(

All of the image processing integrations work by processing a camera. I suggest the approach to take is to create a camera which displays the feed from the url, then apply this integration to that camera. Re limitations, you could either create a PR to update HA or create a custom integration. Cheers
