I’m trying to get some of my MotionEye streams (webcams connected to rPi’s) to show in Home Assistant, but it doesn’t really work as well as I’d like.
At the moment I’m just taking the video stream “http://ip_address:port/video” and adding it as a picture. This gets me a view of the camera, but it’s criminally inconsistent, blank window, change in size etc, like it’s not rendering properly. I also have an Android IP camera in my configuration and this works flawlessly.
Anyone else with similar issues with a possible fix?
Hi, thanks for the suggestions, I’ve tried the framerate and resolution changes, but that’s not it.
I think the problem is the picture component I’m using. For the IP Camera, I have to add the camera into my configuration.yaml and it works flawlessly.
try ffmpeg component and stream from motioneye or direct from cam. it is most consistent for me
hardware is challenge in all cases as video processing takes CPU + Memory and depending on hardware it can be slow and result in slow image display or long buffer when try live view video
i am having same issue. i have added my cameras to motion eye addon in ha, but getting 6-7 seconds lag. i have added above config to my config.yaml file, but don’t know what to do next ? should i add this new entity to a entity card to my love lace dashboard ?
