Hi ,
I am using generic camera integration. I have a rtsp stream link this works in vlc player but when I tried to use with generic camera integration card. I don’t see the feed .I also added camera platform generic in configuration yml file still the same. What could be wrong with the configuration?
Does it require username & password? Currently those have to be encoded into the url.
No it doesn’t need password. It’s all in same network
Please could you view the log output when you try to view a stream and paste it here?
2022-04-14 18:33:34 ERROR (stream_worker) [homeassistant.components.stream.stream.camera.parking_garage] Error from stream worker: Error opening stream (INVALIDDATA, Invalid data found when processing input) rtsp://127.0.0.8:8554/parkinggarage/subStream
It looks like HA thinks the data is invalid. Just to be sure there are no typos, could you copy and paste the command below and provide the output text?
ffplay -loglevel verbose rtsp://127.0.0.8:8554/parkinggarage/subStream
You may need to install ffplay, and if you are running on windows it will be c:\path\to\executable\ffplay.exe
The ip was wrong i corrected it but still the same error. Here is the log from ffplay

Do you see any video with ffplay? Does it show any errors on the console?
No i tried in the console and this is all message i get
I am able to use the link in VLC player and able to stream it
I used the Neolink to convert to rtsp stream. GitHub - thirtythreeforty/neolink: An RTSP bridge to Reolink IP cameras
I think homeassistant is using the ffmpeg library underneath to handle streams. So if you can’t get your stream to play using ffplay, then I expect it is unlikely to work in homeassistant.
It could be that vlc is more tolerant of strange streams or more able to dynamically work out what to do than ffmpeg. My recommendation is to experiment with ffplay until you can see something, then move on to homeassistant.
Here is some example output from ffplay; it opens a window and I can see the live camera feed.
