Timeouts in HA when using multiple transcoded streams about go2rtc HOT 3 OPEN

Have you tried with single camera?

I don't know why you have progressive launch time. Maybe it's just a coincidence. There may be a heavy load on the network.

Also Reonlik cameras has awful RTSP realisation.

FFmpeg start time depends on cameras keyframe interval. On good cameras it's 1 second. I don't know this value on Reolink.

Also you can try two source version:

streams:
  camera1:
    - rtsp:// # for reolink better to use http
    - ffmpeg:camera1#audio=opus

This version doesn't depend on keyframe interval and should starts almost instantly.

Network isn't loaded so that should not be an issue. I will experiment with the items you suggest and report back.

The keyframe interval is one part of the issue as the default interval for the Reolink low-res stream is 4 sec. I set it lower (2 of the 3 cameras support changing the keyframe interval) and everything loads in under 10 sec. I still see the progressive launch times; they are just shorter now. I will spend some more time trying various settings, but it may be a week or 2 before I get to it.

It would be good to note the keyframe interval dependency in the docs.
