Trying out the stream component but when i make the service call all that shows on my tv is the blue chromecast icon. My camera streams are working both in HA and vlc. I have actually tried both the blue iris stream and then also direct stream from the cameras. Anyone have ideas here?
- platform: generic
still_image_url: "http://192.168.0.20:13370/image/driveway"
stream_source: "http://192.168.0.20:13370/h264/driveway/temp.m3u8"
name: Driveway
TV cannot decode stream maybe. Codec support issue.
I would expect shield to support anything however. Do you have another device to test stream to? Can you stream another device to TV without error?
No atm I dont have another device to test it. I would figure if both the tv and then the shield cant display it, not sure its a codec issue???
i think stream source has to be rtsp to cast it to google cast
il try rtsp but blue Iris is on the confirmed list. I’m using reolinks btw.
it does not, I was able to stream my blue iris cameras to my nest hub and shield just fine
Few things I have tried.
Tinycam app on shield. Direct reolink rtsp link works fine
Tinycam app on mobile then cast to shield and Vizio TV works.
Blue Iris link works in VLC and in HA.
I’m guessing something going on my with HA instance or network but not sure what yet.
I just tried with a hassio instance on a vm and then another docker HA in a vm and stream works fine on there. So something is up with my normal docker HA
Problem solved with slight issue. I changed my base_url from my domain to my local ip:8123 and it started working. Still have external ssl access so thats good. Issue is sometimes the stream buffers like crazy rendering it useless. Keeping an eye on it, hopefully its just a temporary problem.
