Camera notifications only 4:3

[olbjan]

Camera notifications of cameras streaming 16:9 content is rendered as 4:3. This aesthetic issue is I believe ever since the start of notifications.

Seeing the same issue here - I have a 640x360 MJPEG stream that's getting distorted (initially posted here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/distorted-camera-feed-in-ios-notification/174380

Undistored View:

View in iOS Notification:

My camera setup:

camera:
  - platform: mjpeg
    mjpeg_url: http://<#ipaddress>:<#port>/wps-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?camera=1&resolution=640x360&username=#####&password=#####
    name: Porch

My config:

- alias: Front Door Sensor Tripped
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: sensor.zone_001
      to: 'Violated'
  condition:
    condition: or
    conditions:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: alarm_control_panel.alarm_com
        state: 'armed_away'
      - condition: state
        entity_id: alarm_control_panel.alarm_com
        state: 'armed_home'
  action:
    service: notify.mobile_app_iphone
    data:
      message: "Front Door Sensor Tripped!"
      data:
        attachment:

        push:
          sound:

Situation remedied for desktop browser & android app by removing

stream:

from configuration.yaml - while keeping cameras with the camera_view: live in ui-lovelace.yaml

With this change made, there has not been one re-occurrence.

Not sure what equivalent changes can be made for this iOS issue, but if you have the stream integration I would comment it out & restart to see if it fixes things.

Cameras stream at same speed for me with this option removed.

Not using the stream component. Notification images are disorted like @Tangston311 has shown with MQTT or generic camera components (still_image_url only).
