Live stream never gets started

[Phoenix-DH]

Hey folks,

I just read about all the issues here and thought it might be a good one to raise this question after I am now on the way to finalize my config of aarlo.
I love both, but I did not get it managed to get a nearly "live" stream and had the ask f there is any progress on it.

I am using browser_mod.popup within an automation when moving is detected.
The popup will be opened with the right cam, but nothing more is happening.

Did some has a valid config?

Mine looks like the following:

dismissable: true
autoclose: false
title: Haustür live
size: normal
timeout: 60000
browser_id:
  - 0fdf7018-e56618fc
content:
  entity: camera.aarlo_haustur
  type: custom:aarlo-glance
  name: Haustür live
  image_view: arlo-stream
  image_top: name,status
  image_bottom: motion,library,stream,snapshot,battery
  image_click: stream
  library_sizes: 3,4,2
  door: binary_sensor.haustur
  door_lock: lock.haustur

Thanks.

Hello,

Just adding to this issue as I am attempting the same thing with the same result. I have successfully configured browser-mod to pop-up with the aarlo custom card but the stream will not auto-start once it's loaded, it just sits on a snapshot from the last recording. I'd like to get the doorbell to auto-start the stream so that it's a useful pop-up without requiring the extra action to start the stream manually.

Having the same problem here. I have tried with conditional cards that come visible once camera sees motion and they have image_view: start-stream as option. Works great when I am editing lovelace and these cards are visible, they start streaming live view automatically as they should. And if I use image_click: stream it also works flawlessly.

But when those conditional cards come visible after motion detection, stream never starts. Tried with different stream settings but nothing seems to make this happen. Is it actually impossible to get live view automatically or am I just missing something obvious here?

It looks like streaming cannot be started if camera has already seen motion and is recording.

I have an automation that open popup-window with glance-card once motion is detected. If I run this automation manually when camera is idle, popup starts live stream as it should. But when motion triggers recording and runs this automation, popup opens but live stream never starts.

Is this something that is supposed to happen or is my configuration somehow messed up?
