Setting up a generic camera / stream SXJ02ZM

@ciB wrote:

I’m using the SXJ02ZM xiaomi all white camera with the openfang hack (https://github.com/anmaped/openfang). I have multiple problems which I don’t know how to deal with. My setup in my config is as follows:

stream:
camera:
  - platform: generic
    name: "Palantir"
    still_image_url: https://192.168.0.39/cgi-bin/currentpic.cgi
    stream_source: rtsp://192.168.0.39:8554/unicast
    verify_ssl: false

In this setup I get a preview image and the rtsp stream without any issues in lovelace (also with preview). When I try to record/snapshot it does not work though and most likely crash my rtsp stream/cam. When I try to stream it to my chromecast my image stays black on my chromecast after a loading screen.

Since openfang uses some encryption I also tried to enable verify_ssl: true. That resulted in the preview image not being shown anymore, the stream itself still worked. When I now try to record I get the message that it is already recording, although it never finishes/creates a file. The snapshot still does not work. When checking the logs I can find the following error:

Unfortunately I have no idea how to set this up correctly. Having the rtsp stream working is nice, but not being able to record/take snapshots is kinda stupid. I also don’t really understand how the “preview” is working (since this is basically saving the stream) but actually recording something does not work.

Any help would be appreciated.
