Impossible to stream a ffmpeg camera

Configuration
1

Hi, I searched in other topics but didn’t found my issue.
I correctly stream a camera through VLC but cannot do in a lovelace card
I’m using FFPMEG platform (enabled in config) but all I can see is a still image (with IDLE written on it) which refresh only if I refresh the page.
If I click on it there’s the following error “No video for supported format and MIME type found”

I tried even without extra_arguments but with no success
Anyone knows how to solve?

Hi there,

Did you ever find a solution to this? I am having the same issue now!

I had the same issue, but managed to work around it by streaming it through MotionEye:

stream:
ffmpeg:
camera:
  - platform: mjpeg
    name: "doorcam"
    mjpeg_url: http://192.168.1.2:8081/

it also allows adjusting the frame rate, quality and resizing :wink:

Same issue here with Reolink camera’s.

This was working before but after a fresh install of home assistant in a new docker container (start from scratch) it did not work in the new setup.

Same here, shiny new RLC-811A w/ h265 stream, FF browser.

6

stream does not support h.265 in ff

That explains it. Neat to see it WILL work on my phone though!

Mine is working with the following settings in configuration.yaml:

camera:
  - platform: ffmpeg
    name: name_of_your_camera
    input: 'rtsp://admin:password@ip_address_of_your_camera:554/live/ch00_1'

You can test this upfront with VLC media player with the same settings
