WebRTC: WebRTC Dashcast Nest Google Hub stops working
I have a Google Nest Hub and Home Assistant and also WebRTC Installed. My Cameras are Ubiquiti cameras and in the options for the camera I turned on RTSPS Link for High Definition.
I created a script:
alias: Streaming Outside Camera to Kitchen Display
sequence:
- service: webrtc.dash_cast
data:
entity_id: media_player.kitchen_display
url: rtspx://11.0.0.71:7441/{UniqueIdentifierWasHere}
force: true
mode: single
icon: mdi:webcam
When I tell the google hub the alias above it starts displaying and I can see the camera feed with about a 2 - 3 second lag. But after about 5 seconds the stream goes black and does not load back up. If I close out and say the alias again it works again for about 5 seconds and the stream goes black.
I turned on Debug logging but I am not sure where to go to see the debug logging. I went to system -> Logs and dont see anything in there around WebRTC.

Thanks @hankfic @AlexxIT
Using the Medium Resolution (1280x720) link from Unifi Camera seems to work. I will test it over the next couple of days and then close out this question. Thanks for your help.
