go2rtc

This component uses the go2rtc application as a streaming server:

• lowest possible streaming latency for many supported protocols
• streaming from RTSP, RTMP, HTTP (FLV/MJPEG/JPEG), HomeKit cameras, USB cameras and other sources
• streaming to RTSP, WebRTC, MSE/MP4 or MJPEG
• support popular codec H264/H265, AAC, PCMU/PCMA, OPUS
• on-the-fly transcoding for unsupported codecs via FFmpeg
• autoselect streaming technology based on stream codecs, browser capabilities, network configuration

Read more in the go2rtc docs!

You can install go2rtc in several ways:

1. Basic users - this component will automatically download and run the latest version of go2rtc, you don't need to do anything yourself.
2. Advanced users - install the go2rtc or Frigate 12+ add-on.
3. Hakers - install go2rtc as binary or Docker on any server in LAN.

You can change the go2rtc settings by adding the go2rtc.yaml file to your Hass configuration folder.

Important. go2rtc runs its own web interface on port 1984 without a password. There you can see a list of active camera streams. Anyone on your LAN can access them without a password. You can disable this in the go2rtc config.

PS. There is also another nice card with go2rtc support - Frigate Lovelace Card.

Installation

Method 1. HACS > Integrations > Plus > WebRTC > Install

Method 2. Manually copy webrtc folder from latest release to /config/custom_components folder.

Additional steps if you are using the UI in YAML mode: add card to resources

The custom_card will be automatically registered with the Home Assistant UI, except when you are managing the UI in YAML mode. If you are managing the UI in YAML mode then add this to your UI resources for the custom:webrtc-camera card to work:

url: /webrtc/webrtc-camera.js
type: module

• Refresh your browser

Configuration

Settings > Devices & Services > Add Integration > WebRTC

If the integration is not in the list, you need to clear the browser cache.

Component doesn't create devices and entities. It creates only two services and lovelace custom card.

Custom card

As a url you can use:

• any protocol supported by go2rtc (rtsp, rtmp, http, onvif, dvrip, homekit, roborock, etc.)
• stream name from the go2rtc config
• Jinja2 template (should render supported protocol or stream name)

As a entity you can use almost any camera from Hass.

As a poster you can use:

• http-link (should be publicly available link)
• camera entity from Hass
• stream name from the go2rtc config
• Jinja2 template (should render camera entity or stream name)

Minimal

type: 'custom:webrtc-camera'
url: 'rtsp://rtsp:[email protected]:554/av_stream/ch0'

or

Two-way audio

• Only for supported sources in go2rtc
• Only for Hass with HTTPS access, this limitation is from the browsers
• Only for WebRTC mode
• HTTPS is also important for Hass Mobile App!

You should add microphone to media param. You can use two streams: one with mic, second without:

type: 'custom:webrtc-camera'
streams:
  - url: go2rtc_stream
  - url: go2rtc_stream
    mode: webrtc
    media: video,audio,microphone

PS. For Hass Mobile App ensure that you can use microphone with the built-in Assist.

Cast or share stream

Component support streaming to Google Cast Chromecast devices (including Android TV and Google Smart Screen). Read more in wiki.

Also component support creating a temporary or permanent link to a stream without sharing access to you Home Assistant. Read more in wiki.

Stream to camera

go2rtc support play audio files (ex. music or TTS) and live streams (ex. radio) on cameras with two way audio support. You need to:

1. Check if your camera has supported two way audio source
2. Setup camera stream in go2rtc.yaml config
3. Check audio codec, that your camera supports
4. Create virtual Media Players for your cameras in configuration.yaml:

media_player:
  - platform: webrtc
    name: Dahua Camera
    stream: dahua
    audio: pcmu/48000
  - platform: webrtc
    name: Tapo Camera
    stream: tapo
    audio: pcma

FAQ

Q. Exernal access with WebRTC doesn't work
A. Read more and don't create new issues.

Q. Audio doesn't work
A. Check what audio codec your camera outputs. And what technology do you use to watch videos. Different technologies support different codecs.

Debug

Add to your configuration.yaml:

logger:
  default: warning

RTMP

I have a rebroadcast of RTSP via RTMP. When I try to add RTMP it ways only RTSP stream is allowed. Can you point me to where to make modifications that would allow such RTMP streams.

PTZ zoom controls

It would be nice to have PTZ zoom controls, for those that have a camera that can zoom.

Add support for PTZ preset positions

Hi, it would be nice to besides the up/down/left/right/zoom in/zoom out also to have the possibility to select presets (up to 6).
I'm using the PTZ service with the following data:

      action: call-service
      service: onvif.ptz
      service_data:
        entity_id: camera.mainprofile
        preset: Preset1
        speed: 1
        distance: 0.5
        move_mode: GotoPreset

Unable to cast to chromecast device (nest hub)

The component works great, and the video stream starts almost instantly, which is super cool! However, when trying to cast (using service: cast.show_lovelace_view) to my nest hub i get the Custom element doesn't exist: webrtc-camera issue. I know lots of cards has this issue as something extra has to be done by the developer to support casting of custom cards. It's mentioned here in the Cast FAQ at the very bottom, titled Why do some custom cards not work?

Do you mind taking a look at it please? That would be awesome if we can cast lovelace views with these super fast webrtc video streams!

Stream not working with Version 2.0

Getting error message on new version. Tried on Safari Desktop and HA iOS App

Lovelace 'Uncaught Error'

Hi Alex
I Uninstalled everything, both in HACS and in Configuration -> Integrations.
Clear the cache.
Restart my HA
Install WebRTC only in HACS and the error was does NOT appear in log.
When I install the integration in Configuration -> Integrations., without even putting the card in with video, only with a refresh of screen, the error already appears in Lovelace.

I leave you a video that may help you to determine what is happening to me.

PS Sorry for posting into Sonoff and not the WebRTC repository.

Custom element doesn't exist: webrtc-camera.

Hi Alexx!
Why custom element doesn't exist: webrtc-camera?
Please see picture for details.

Video in Firefox not working

You've mentioned that FF is not supported due to the limitations of the browser.
On the other hand, I cannot say that WebRTC is completely broken in FF.
Other apps, e.g. jit.si video conference tool, works perfectly in this browser.

What is the problem with the implementation of webrtc in FF? Is there any way to add limited support for it?

Taking long time (more than 1 minute) to load streams on iDevice

Am trying to load 2 streams on my iDevice, but they are taking taking quite long before the video appears. For my iPhone, it took about 1 minute for the streams to appear, while for my Mac, the streams doesn't seem to load no matter how long I waited. I have tried using Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Chrome on my Mac, but with no luck.

On my Android phone, on the other hand, the streams appear almost immediate.

I have allowed port forwarding on the following UDP ports on my router (50000 -> 50009), there are no error logs generated.

On my Home Assistant android app, sometimes the stream tries to connect to LAN when I am on WAN or tries WAN when I am on LAN

The webrtc lovelace card seems to confuse when I am on local wifi vs mobile data, and sometimes it tries to connect to LAN when I am not on the local network, resulting in an infinite spinning of the progress circle, with no camera feed ever showing up

Port forwarding is breaking my ability to access my network remotely

I have 2 sonoff cameras and i've port forwarded 50000 to 50019, and i've set the same range in the WebRTC integration. For some reason, when I do this, it breaks my ability to access my entire home assistant instance remotely. I have to disable the port forwarding to get back the ability to access my home assistant instance, but then I cannot see the cameras when accessing remotely.

Fix stream playing stops when exit from fullscreen mode on iOS

When you open full screen mode then exit from it, you see just still picture but not streaming video. In order to start stream again you "play" button should be pressed.

Config option for stream to be paused by default

Not an issue an enhancement request, sorry if this is the incorrect place to log it!

The frontend card is really good at last zero lag videos from my Unifi cameras. It would however be much more flexible if there was a config option to set the stream to be either playing or paused on page load. If that's even possible?

Sound

Hi Alex,

Really great work here.

I have a couple of sound issues on Sonoff Cam.

1. There's a clicking under the sound
2. If I open the stream 3 or 4 times the sound is lost and I have to reboot HA to reinstate.

Thanks in advance

Does not install, does not work after manuall install

I got “Custom element doesn’t exist: ‘webrtc-camera’” on lovelace dashboard

no webrtc in custom_elements found after installation. “Add Integrations” search does not find webrtc camera
ok, I copied it manually, restarted, and added integration, but no card at lovelace present now.

Spinner flickers with dropped frames

When in MSE mode, the spinner is made visible immediately on interruption to the video stream. In the case of a slow stream with occasional dropped frames this causes the spinner to briefly appear for a moment.

Suggestion to add a short delay following video.onwaiting event before displaying the spinner.

No issue but cam info

Video stream not working when accessing webrtc card remotely (outside LAN)

Version 1.2.0, rpi3B+ with hassio.

When iam in the lan it works great.
When iam accessing my hassio from the outside (through duckdns) it doesn't connect with any camera or it gives false 'connected' with no video or audio.

It worked both ways with a previous version though.

WebRTC: ICE failed, add a TURN server and see about:webrtc for more details

Hi,

I've got that error while trying to start stream. I'm on my local network, using Firefox or Safari desktop.

On IOS companion app still on local network i sometimes got connected staus but no video is loading and after few secondes i lost connexion and got stucked in an new trying to start stream step.

Any idea ? Can ICE/TURN be disabled if usage is only on local network ?

Two sets of controls in the UI

UI displays two sets of controls, one for video and another for audio. Is there a way to have unified controls? The audio icon on the on the main video controls seems disabled.

Plays/Streams even when hidden?

Love your new WebRTC card!!!!

It appears, however, that the stream is playing even when the card/view is not visible (i.e., when a completely different view is showing). The cpu does not change when navigating away. This causes the CPU to increase quite a bit for each camera.

I have 6 cameras, so far I have only tested two simultaneously, and the cpu is at 70% for the process rtsp2webrtc_v1_amd64. With one camera, the cpu was at 50%. Haven't tried 6 yet.

Is it possible to stop streaming when the card/view is not visible? Or disconnect and reconnect when visible?

Great work though! I had all but given up on live streaming with HA!

New models supported

I can confirm that this component works with the following cams:

• Yi with hack https://github.com/roleoroleo/yi-hack-Allwinner
• Yi with hack https://github.com/roleoroleo/yi-hack-Allwinner-v2
• Sonoff GK-200MP2B with or without hack https://github.com/roleoroleo/sonoff-hack

All models with alaw/ulaw audio.

Thanks for your work.

I also preload an animated gif until video stream arrives.

Fullscreen mode via automatization scenario

It would be cool to add to the component the functionality of deploying the player from the card to the entire screen according to the automation scenario - for example, this can be used with a doorbell.

Было бы круто добавить в компонент функционал разворачивания плеера из карточки на весь экран по сценарию автоматизации - например, это можно использовать с дверным звонком.

Start streaming video on the card only through a "play" button

Hi Alex,
would it be possible to start streaming video on the card only through a "play" button?

I noticed that when the camera is off (I only turn it on when I am away from home), and I view the card on Home Assistant, WebRTC always tries to view the video and tries to reconnect continuously to the webcam, increasing the CPU usage and consumption.

Even when I close Home Assistant, however, the CPU load remains high compared to when I don't see the WebRTC card.

I believe that to solve, in addition to the play button on the card, it is necessary to act at the integration level, as if it were momentarily deactivated. In fact, by deactivating it, the CPU load and consumption returns to "normal".

For info, I report that the ONVIF integration, when the webcam is off, the CPU load and consumption do not increase.

Thank you

Home Assistant OS crashing after few minutes of stream

Hi, I'm having some trouble with WebRTC. Looks like it makes my home assistant crash, because it becomes unresponsive after few minutes (about 2 or 3) of watching stream. I have 3 streams with resolution of 640x360 each, framerate 15fps and bitrate at 1024kbps max. I am running HASS OS, core version 2021.5.2 on my raspberry pi 3, also the webrtc is in version 2.0.2. Do you have any idea what is causing the problem? I'd be grateful for any hint.

Android webrtc stream often doesn't play

In the Android HA app, streams get into "Connected" state but fail to actually play about 50% of the time. Quitting the app and then coming back eventually will get it to work. On desktop Chrome, it seems to be 100% reliable.

No Mac version

Not work on Mac cause there is no RTSP2webrtc for mac

Stream doesn't play when clicking on the Play icon (iOS, Low power mode, ui: true)

Having an issue where the stream doesn't play when clicking on the play icon with ui: true, but plays when clicking on the pause icon on the lower right. The play icon at the centre is on an endless loading loop, even though the stream has been connected and is readied to be played.

Issue occurring when device is on low power mode (prevents stream from autoplay), running iOS 14.6, iPhone 11.

Give proper Error message if Link to webrtc is expired.

I successfully added new feature and boy.. U ROCK THE HELL !!!!! Thanks so muhc for this more than awesome app!.

Just one thing.. when opening an expired link to the stream it will just print
ERROR: {}

Is it maybe possible to print a human readable error message like: This link has been expired, or something more readable?

Awesome anyway and THAT was what i was looking for for maybe 4 years now :) Thanks a lot master!

Autoplay stream

The streams doesn't seem to autoplay on my iPhone until I press the play icon, is there any way to get it to autoplay stream? It did for the first few times, but now it requires me to click play before it starts playing.

Stuck on "Init Connection" Safari Desktop

Updated to latest master version which does not require specifying ports, streams are stuck on init connection when using Safari Desktop. Tried specifying ports from 50000-59999, but did not work. Working well with other browsers (Chrome, Firefox) on the same laptop even when not specifying ports

Hi brilliant component!!, I have a small feature request could you allow setting of the lovelace title please if specified

I'm doing this in the code card.header = this.config.title; to allow naming of each camera feed panel I have.

Thank you again for a great component.

Working Cameras

If you want, you can add:

Yi 1080p Outdoor Hi3518e Chipset (with hack)
Yi 1080p Indoor (9FUS) (with hack)

To the list of known working cameras.

Correct Camera Stream to 16:9

The stream is displayed in 4:3 when the camera records in 16:9 is it possible to correct the aspect ratio in the configuration card?

Status banner gets stuck over card upon reconnect

When the camera stream is reconnecting, the banner across the top that displays “Connected” or “Restart Connection” or “Connected to WAN” never goes away. It should fade away after some time. And it would be nice to have an option to disable it completely as in my case it seems it needs to reconnect a lot.

Is there a way to use it with motion and webcam?

I have motion installed and one web-camera Logitech C270 in it.
Is there any way to see stream in Home assistant with this integration?

motion Version 4.2.2
stream url http://192.168.7.2:8082/0/

Of course WebRTC say "Error: support only RTSP-stream". Maybe motion can stream in RTSP?

Can't start stream

Can't start stream: rtsp://192.168.1.116:554/onvif1, because: 0, message='Attempt to decode JSON with unexpected mimetype: ', url=URL('http://localhost:8083/stream')

Well, can't imagine something else. But VLC player CAN open stream and show it right way.. Where should I start search problem?

Port forwarding set up for 50000 to 50019 but webrtc sometimes picks ports outside of that range

i am using duckdns with nginx for reverse dns lookup. Without port forwarding, i get no camera stream when off my local network. I have to port forward. I have 2 cameras, so i use 50000 to 50019 as my ports that I forward to my home assistant raspberry pi. I noticed, however, that the webrtc card uses random port that isn't between the range i've setup for the integration and port forwarded, so i get a connection error

Save picture from camera

Hi, great addon works great in real time.
Would it be possible to have the snapshot from the camera? It would be useful for sending these pictures as notifications to the phone. Right now I use standard camera image from the camera which are delayed like 10 seconds.

Problem with symbols in URL

Example:

login: home_assistant
password: [CFhd2*G4232!t2ra4s

На stackoverflow утверждают, что проблема в url.Parse, который задействован в библиотеке rtspv2 (а именно - в client.go); там же и идею с urlescape подчеркнул
