Stream not working anymore

[QNTLO]

Version of the custom_component

1.0.15 ## Configuration Configuration made via UI inserting AppID and APPSecret. Home Assistant Core: 2024.3.0 Supervisor: 2024.02.1 Operating system: 12.0 Frontend: 20240306.0 ## Describe the bug The stream doesn't work anymore. I have a card added in my dashboard, but it only shows a snapshot. My scripts - that record a 10 sec video - don't work anymore. Through ffmpeg it works with an rtps stream, but I don't want to rely on that. I never run them simultaneous. I have already deleted the integration (restart) then installed it again (restart) but that doesn't solve anything. Also tried to delete the stream from my dashboard, but that was unfortunatly not the problem. When the script runs, it doesn't finish the recording. When trying to run it again, it shows this error: Stream already recording to /media/records/SnapVid.mp4! ## Debug log

Hi, I wonder if this is related to the new limits Imou put on the service (https://community.home-assistant.io/t/imou-life-cloud-integration/462439/202). Have a look at https://open.imoulife.com/consoleNew/resourceManage/myResource(the third bucket) in case you have reached already the limit for video streaming. Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for thinking with me. I already thought of that, since I received emails about it. But it wouldn't make sense, right? Since the limits are daily. So technically it should work at 00.01 since the timer resets again. And I don't make that many recordings. It only does when there is motion. To back up that claim, please see my limits for today (March 10th) at 20:30

Actually the email says limits are daily, at least this is what I'm experiencing here :-/

You mean monthly? Based on the screenshot i've send, I should still be able to use the stream, no?

I saw a screenshot at another thread, saying 'residue' at the flow as well, whereas with me it doesn't say so. Does that mean I'm at the limit already, or haven't used any yet. It is very confusing. I've just put $1 on my account, just to see what will happen next.

[user2684]

This is my understanding, if you don't see residue, it means you already reached the limit and you get API limit exceeded error messages in HA logs and you need to either wait for the next month or charge the account, at least this is what is happening to me

Ah, if you need the video stream, just use the ONVIF integration and there will be no limits there

[QNTLO]

Is the ONVIF better than the ffmpeg I've been using as an alternative? Pure quality wise?

[user2684]

Don't know, I expect onvif and ffmpeg to have similar quality, actually I think onvif uses ffmpeg behind the scene
