Camera Stream not closing (keeps connection alive)

[benquan (Ben)]

I am streaming a camera. On lovelace I have the camera card. So a picture appears. As soon as I click on the picture, the camera feed appears and my network starts pumping 3MB/s. I close the streaming window but the network will continue at 3MB/s forever, until I completely close the Home assistant Tab or I go away from the overview tab. I guess its until the tab refreshes.

I am using Chrome on a Macbook. and the camera configuration is the following:

stream:

camera:
  - platform: generic
    name: Gato rtsp
    still_image_url: http://192.168.0.112:8080/photo.jpg
    stream_source: rtsp://192.168.0.112:8080/h264_pcm.sdp

Here I opened the stream for 1 second and after a minute, it seems to be streaming on the background.

I have noticed this on both desktop browsers as well as the android companion app, luckily my camera feed has audio, so I tend to notice quickly

You should definitely open an issue.
