Hi all,
today after update HA Core to core-2021.3.0 my Mobotix camera doesn’t work anymore.
I received this error: Error getting new camera image from Haustuer: Missing hostname in URL.
Hi! How are you? The same thing happened to me with a Dahua DVR that I have configured as generic. After the 2021.3.0 update, the “still_image_url:” parameter stopped working, it doesn’t show me the snapshots anymore.
There was a change to the generic component to use a different http library as the previous one had a bug. However this new library is a bit more strict and also some configuration quirks may have been exposed.
The proper way to set up the component is slightly confusing and should probably be documented better. For still image url, the username and password should be listed separately in the yaml instead of prepended to the url. However, for stream_source, the username and password SHOULD be prepended to the url. Using the example from @rfromano
Check your password. It must not contain any special characters like @, ! etc.
I get work my camera after replacing the special characters in password.
I had a password: Mypassword@ and I raplaced it with Mypassword%40
