core: Reolink RLC-510WA set up via RTMP/ FLV stream is not starting...
The problem
I have a Reolink RLC-510WA firmware v3.1.0.764_21121712 set up via RTMP (but same thing happens for FLV config):

(I do this to have access to ext stream) and I can’t play the any of streams…Only the still image is being displayed.

The same camera configured via RTSP or via ONVIF integrations works as expected.

The issue is not fixed in 2023.3.1
@majkers do you perhaps have something like VLC media player on a PC where you can test the stream URLS independently? Could you verify both the RTMP and FLV stream urls (from the error logs) for both the sub, main and ext streams? In VLC media player, you can also see what the video encoding format is when viewing a live stream.
It really sounds like a decoding problem with the HomeAssistant stream integration.
