Core: Stream works only 2 (or 6) seconds

Created on 5 Aug 2020  ·  30Comments  ·  Source: home-assistant/core

The problem


Stream works only for 2 seconds (sometimes for 6), then it freezes for 60 seconds, instantly loads 1 minute video and freezes again for next minute. I have this problem for 6-12 months. It works when Home Assistant is running in Python virtual environment, but not in Docker container. There is also a problem with fetch snapshot image.

Environment

  • Home Assistant Core release with the issue: 0.114
  • Last working Home Assistant Core release (if known): N/A
  • Operating environment (OS/Container/Supervised/Core): Container
  • Integration causing this issue: stream or ffmpeg
  • Link to integration documentation on our website: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/stream/

Problem-relevant configuration.yaml

amcrest:
  - host: cam.lan
    name: Cam
    binary_sensors:
      - motion_detected
    resolution: low
    username: !secret cam_user
    password: !secretcam_password

Traceback/Error logs when HA is running in Python virtual environment and stream works:

I‘m having problems with 6 second videos since 0.115.
It’s always showing a cached 6 second video, which is the same after reboots, too. Also if I comment out the generic camera in yaml it’s still the Same 6 second Video.
The only error I see in the log, that may have to do with it is:
Stream packet without dts detected, skipping

I‘m using a yi cam with you hack and can solve the error by disabling audio in the rtsp Video. If it’s activate it it creates the 6 second video again. Problem is, that the Audio it streams isn’t supported by home assistant, but if i need it I’m using vlc to stream the rtsp directly.

It seems I'm having a similar error, is a yi hack camera, each time I try to get snapshot:

2020-08-14 08:03:36 ERROR (SyncWorker_4) [homeassistant.components.onvif] Fetch snapshot image failed from Cámara pasillo, falling back to FFmpeg; HTTPConnectionPool(host='192.168.100.20', port=8080): Max retries exceeded with url: /cgi-bin/snapshot.sh?res=high&watermark=yes (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7f8d401850>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused'))

Sometimes after some of this errors, a bigger one appears that does not let access to the video neither, but is fixed itself some time later:

The user and password appear in the log, maybe this must be fixed too, I have replaced it by XXXXX.

At first I thought it was the camera, but the snapshot is never working and if I go manually to the URL it works perfectly and I can get the snapshot. I can differentiate them because the correct one has a watermark and the ffmpeg one that it gets from the video hasn't.

Is a connection refused, maybe some kind of problem of authentication?

If finally it is some kind of authentication problem, maybe this fixes it: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/38729

McGiverGim picture McGiverGim on 14 Aug 2020

@McGiverGim it's easy to verify - just use curl with the snapshot url. If it fails with digest auth but succeeds with basic auth, it should be fixed by https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/38729.

@OnFreund great idea! I have tried and I get a 401 Unauthorized when I use --digest but it seems to work without, so it seems clear that is not supported and the PR maybe fixes it for me. Waiting for a release that contains it...

McGiverGim picture McGiverGim on 17 Aug 2020

@McGiverGim Sounds like it should be fixed with that PR, but if you want to be certain, you can checkout that branch locally and test.

OnFreund picture OnFreund on 18 Aug 2020

@OnFreund is there a way to install your changes over the actual stable version? It seems your PR is taking long to be merged.

I'm a developer, but I don't know how Home Assistant works, so I'm not sure if I can add your modified files "somewhere" to see if they work.

McGiverGim picture McGiverGim on 2 Sep 2020

I added your files in config/custom_components/onvif but it seems is not compatible with my version or your code has some bug, I think is more the first. I can find my camera with the integration flow, but it does not add any sensor (camera). I see this error:

McGiverGim picture McGiverGim on 2 Sep 2020

Hmm, that's really strange. I don't know how None can be returned from requests.get.
Can you try adding a log with the snapshot_uri before this?

OnFreund picture OnFreund on 2 Sep 2020

Sure, if you tell me how to add a log line 👍
I'm a developer, but not of python, not of Home Assistant ;)

McGiverGim picture McGiverGim on 2 Sep 2020

I found the code in another integration, this is the snapshot (I replaced the IP with XX):

[custom_components.onvif] snapshot_uri http://192.168.XXX.XX:8080/cgi-bin/snapshot.sh?res=high&watermark=yes

It seems correct and it shows the snapshot in the browser after authenticated.

McGiverGim picture McGiverGim on 2 Sep 2020

@OnFreund more info, I changed the if by a:

if response is None or response.status_code == 401:

And now the snapshot works, with basic authentication of course.

I don't know why it returns None and not the response in my case. Is a Yi cam with the allwinner firmware.

McGiverGim picture McGiverGim on 2 Sep 2020

Can you try to use digest auth on this url with curl and see what happens?

OnFreund picture OnFreund on 2 Sep 2020

Of course, I tested it before, but this is the complete response, if it helps:

curl --digest -uUSER:PASSWORD http://192.168.XXX.XX:8080/cgi-bin/snapshot.sh\?res\=high\&watermark\=yes                                            
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>401 Unauthorized</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY><H1>401 Unauthorized</H1>

</BODY></HTML>
curl: (18) transfer closed with 874 bytes remaining to read

Removing the --digest works.

If you want that I execute with more params please tell me.

McGiverGim picture McGiverGim on 2 Sep 2020

Ok, I made a stupid mistake, sorry. Can you add return before requests.get(snapshot_uri, timeout=1, auth=auth) in line 134?

OnFreund picture OnFreund on 2 Sep 2020

In my defense, I'm used to Ruby, rather than Python, where the return isn't necessary :)

OnFreund picture OnFreund on 2 Sep 2020

Change done...

    def _get():
        # so we can handle keyword arguments
        return requests.get(snapshot_uri, timeout=1, auth=auth)

and working!!! I now have a high resolution snapshot and not the low resolution ffmpeg one...

Thanks for your work!! Only thing left is to merge it :P

@OnFreund in what version I can expect this merge?

cybool picture cybool on 17 Sep 2020

Is at 105.0 0.115.0 and working for me!

McGiverGim picture McGiverGim on 17 Sep 2020

@McGiverGim for sure? ;) maybe you mean 0.115?

cybool picture cybool on 17 Sep 2020

Of course!! 😄

McGiverGim picture McGiverGim on 18 Sep 2020

Yes, it's included in 0.115

OnFreund picture OnFreund on 18 Sep 2020

I‘m having problems with 6 second videos since 0.115.
It’s always showing a cached 6 second video, which is the same after reboots, too. Also if I comment out the generic camera in yaml it’s still the Same 6 second Video.
The only error I see in the log, that may have to do with it is:
Stream packet without dts detected, skipping

I‘m using a yi cam with you hack and can solve the error by disabling audio in the rtsp Video. If it’s activate it it creates the 6 second video again. Problem is, that the Audio it streams isn’t supported by home assistant, but if i need it I’m using vlc to stream the rtsp directly.

@hagenuck1 , did you find any solution?

pickeld picture pickeld on 26 Sep 2020

Nope. After deactivating the audio feature at the camera it was working for a short moment, but since then I have the same issue again.

hagenuck1 picture hagenuck1 on 27 Sep 2020

I'm seeing a very similar issue with 0.115.6.

2020-10-04 12:56:00 ERROR (SyncWorker_29) [homeassistant.components.onvif] Fetch snapshot image failed from test cam, falling back to FFmpeg; HTTPConnectionPool(host='192.168.10.215', port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: /tmpfs/auto.jpg (Caused by ConnectTimeoutError(<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x45c5b650>, 'Connection to 192.168.10.215 timed out. (connect timeout=5)'))
2020-10-04 12:56:01 WARNING (MainThread) [haffmpeg.tools] Timeout reading image.

if I use

ffmpeg -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://192.168.10.215/1 -f image2 -vf fps=fps=1 test%03d.png

it works fine.

I think part of the problem for me, is the poll interval of 10 seconds, and the camera not coping.
How can I control the poll interval?

Config, ONVIF integration.
By default this added -pred 1 as a system option.

I also have tried

camera:
  - platform: ffmpeg
    name: Camera ffmpeg
    input: rtsp://192.168.10.215/1

and get the same issues with the poll time being too aggressive and causing timeouts.

Hello:

I am running HA 0.117.6 with Onvif, connected to an ANNKE DT81DP NVR. I get the following errors on my six analog cameras every 10 seconds. The images render fine on the dashboard, I just see the errors in the log every 10 seconds. My IP Cameras report no issues.

Any clues? Thanks!
