[shwollo]

Description

Hi all,

Here's the screen stream of the issue:
https://youtu.be/vr_hTTg6PtU
basically - stream shows two seconds forward, then it jumps one second back and so on.
I have two TC71 cameras, there is same issue on both

What I've tried so far:

Only HD stream seems to be issue, SD stream works correctly

stream works correctly:

• checked RTSP connection via VLC
• checked via tapo app

Issue presist:

• switched between TCP and UDP
• switched Use Stream from Home Assistant
• update firmware on camera
• different devices (macbook and iphone)
• connection via local homeassistant.local:8123 and remote via cloudflared

What else should I try, please?

thanks

This is a stream, not a recording based on the video shared.

• which entity is this using?

You are using RTSP stream exposed by camera. This stream is passed to Home Assistant as is and integration does not reprocess the stream, therefore the issue is most likely in network connectivity between HA and camera.
