Stream Reolink Camera on Dashboard

Configuration
1

I have the I have several PoE Reolink cameras and the latest official Reolink integration. I can stream these cameras fine from the Reolink iOS app.

I have added these Reolink camera entities to the dashboard but none of them stream either when on the dashboard or if I click on to them - I have done this as picture entities and picture glance, ensuring in each case camera_view is “live”. Unfortunately all it shows is a single snapshot of the camera (if I select the “streaming” entity) or a snapshot of the camera which updates every few seconds (if I select the “snapshot” entity). If I click on the “streaming” entity, a new window opens but the play button is greyed out, so I am stuck with a static snapshot.

If I go to “Media” tab / “Camera” button in Media Sources I can see there are a number of incompatible hidden items - which seems to be the total number of “streaming” Reolink entities - but all the “snapshot” entities are showing.

Any help?

Thanks in advance!

My Home Assistant version is as follows:

  • Core 2024.2.2
  • Supervisor 2024.02.0
  • Operating System 11.5
  • Frontend 20240207.1

Same with mine Reolink.

I am using reolink in HA. I configured it as ONVIF camera. All works fine, even PTZ.
It was not auto-detected by ONVIF, but entering IP adress, portnumber and credentials will do

Old post but ran into similar issue recently with my Reolink cameras showing on the Media screen and figured out I had to go to the bottom right menu and switch the option from a speaker media option (which I guess is not compatible with video:) to “browser”. The incompatible hidden items comment went away and back cam the “snapshot” video items. Even though the post is old maybe someone is looking for a possible solution to similar issue. Thanks!
