Hey Everyone,
Today I managed to display the videos that my Reolink camera provides via FTP in the /media folder on my dashboard.
Unfortunately, I then noticed that the videos load very slowly in the dashboard. I use Gallery-card for this. To check whether it is due to the HACS addon, I looked in my /media/reolink folder to see whether the videos there also load very slowly. Unfortunately, this is also the case here. It takes up to 2 minutes for the selected video to load and even then it reloads briefly every 3 seconds in the video itself. If I then reload the page itself, it naturally loads again from the beginning…
Is there a way to make videos load faster? The server itself has 16 GB RAM. I don’t think it’s because the Selver itself is too small in terms of hardware. Another possibility would of course be that the videos are already preloaded in the background. But this would not be so good if there are 100 videos in the /media/reolink folder later.
Sorry if I am causing confusion in any way. Ben relatively new to Home Assistant topic and this is also the first time I am looking for advice in a forum, as previously I have always found my answer by searching through several forums.
Example picture of what it currently looks like when it loads.
If more information is needed please let me know.
