How to forward all go2rtc/webrtc streams to Home Assistant?

[stalakerob]

What is your question:

I have up to 3 streams per camera and the frigate custom component configured in HA. It seems only the main stream is available as a camera entity in HA or my config is missing something? For example I'm only getting camera.gartencam but not camera.gartencam_sub.

This is working as expected. The frigate card in HA supports using more streams but there is only one camera entity.

[stalakerob]

Thanks for you quick answer. I tried adding streams to the frigate hass card but it did not work. I don't know how to exactly add a frigate substream to it. Also with VLC the substream is not available, at least not using rtsp:https://192.168.1.244:8554/gartencam_sub. I tried this:

`type: custom:frigate-card
cameras:

• camera_entity: camera.gartencam
  live_provider: go2rtc
  dependencies:
  cameras:
  - gartencam_sub
• camera_entity: camera.gartencam
  live_provider: go2rtc
  id: gartencam_sub
  hide: true
  go2rtc:
  modes: []
  stream: rtsp:https://192.168.1.244:8554/gartencam_sub

You likely have some other error in your configuration that's blocking this. Have you tried using the rtsp url of your main stream to see if that works? For me, any stream that's configured under go2rtc in the frigate config is available at rtsp:https://FRIGATE_URL:8554/GO2RTC_STREAM_NAME. This is true for me whether I have the stream set up to show in frigate or not. Simply having it under the go2rtc section in the config makes it available.

[ofcedwards]

Also note that the stream names appear to be case-sensitive. You have capital letters in the stream names in your config, but not in the url you provided to pull the stream into VLC/HA.

[ofcedwards]

Specifically for what you're doing with the frigate card, I've tested this and it works:

type: custom:frigate-card
cameras:
  - frigate:
      url: http:https://FRIGATE_URL:5000
    dependencies:
      cameras:
        - front-door-low-res
    camera_entity: camera.front_door
    live_provider: go2rtc
  - camera_entity: camera.front_door #camera entity from frigate integration
    live_provider: go2rtc
    id: front-door-low-res
    hide: true
    go2rtc:
      stream: front_door_sub #case-sensitive stream name from frigate go2rtc config

[stalakerob]

Thanks for your support. I removed the webrtc configuration from my config file. Now the sub streams work with VLC. Does this make sense?

[ofcedwards]

I'm not sure that removing the webrtc config would make any difference or that it's recommended. I have webrtc configured with

webrtc:
  candidates:
    - FRIGATE_URL:8555
    - stun:8555

This works as expected and allows me to view the streams with webrtc. Is the only change you made removing that block?

[stalakerob]

Yes. BTW I forgot to mention that I'm using Frigate 0.14 Beta 3. Maybe this is the problem?
