Greetings all,
I’ve been playing with some Yi Cameras with RTSP ( https://github.com/TheCrypt0/yi-hack-v4 ) and Google Home Hub. I managed to configure the cameras on HA as this:
- platform: generic
name: Cast Office
still_image_url: https://still_image_url/image.jpg
stream_source: rtsp://IP/ch0_1.h264
I have exposed the camera to Google and it shows up on the Home App. If I use VLC to stream that directly works fine, I have no stutters and no issues at all.
Problem happens when I try to cast to Google Home Hub (and to a chromecast device too), it just plays 2 seconds, buffers for a long time, plays another second and then buffers again. The logs show:

Any ideas on what could be possibly going on?
Thanks!
