I am at loss here with troubleshooting and fixing this issue at this point. Here is what i have. A ring front door with no Ring pro subscription. Afaik i have read, this subscription is not needed for HA live stream to work. Please correct me if i am wrong here…
i was using HTTPS with duckdns and lets encrypt and for inside and outside access to HA. this was working fine until the Ring live stream add on required http to be used for the streaming, and http was being refused, so i moved the configuration to Nginx RP so that i can have http open inside and secure it just from outside. This config is setup correctly and working as expected.
What is not working is the live stream for Ring camera.
Logs:
Error getting new camera image from Front Door: Cannot connect to host ipofha:3000 ssl:default [Connect call failed (’’, 3000)]
the name of camera matches what is in Ring app
Error opening stream http://ipofha:3000/public/stream.m3u8
Connection to tcp://ipofha:3000 failed: Connection refused
Any further thoughts on why this isnt working?
Config file:
ring:
username: !secret ring_username
password: !secret ring_password
camera:
platform: generic
name: Front Door
stream_source: http://ipofha:3000/public/stream.m3u8
still_image_url: http://ipofha:3000/public/stream.m3u8
FYI i have tried both platform generic and ffmpeg with out much luck. What am i missing here ?
TIA
