What’s the resolution of your camera? Also where do you run VLC from?
Video feeds are quite CPU hungry so “pulling” the stream from the camera and replaying it from the Pi might be too much if it’s a high res camera?
I personally use the high res for recording and the 2nd channel (low res) for streaming

I had a similar problem with my amcrest cameras. This is when I would click on the “thumbnail” picture in the frontend which would open the stream in a larger window. It would take 7 to 10 seconds for it to actually start playing, and then after 30 seconds it would stop. This was with a relatively recent checkout of the HA dev branch. But I just updated it and tried again, and now it is working fine! :smile: I think this has something to do with PR #22338, which appears to be scheduled for 0.90.2.

I think that should be all you need. (I don’t have anything else.) Have you tried tapping the picture to see if the stream window opens?
