3.0 iOS Hass App opens fullscreen stream

[macchrissli]

Since i updated the dashboard on the Hass iOS app always opens the webrtc stream to fullscreen mode. Makes it unusable to have as a card at the moment

same here, full-screen display automatically occurs even if you are not on the page where the cam previews are. I had to rollback to 2.3.1 because the home assistant app was unusable

What iOS version do you use? Is WebRTC card on default page?

[andker87]

iOS 16.2 on iPhone X.
WebRTC is in a tab on the default dashboard, but not on the main page.

I am also experiencing this on the companion app. Running iOS 16.2 on a iPhone 14 pro max.

I am also seeing this issue on an iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 16.2, Companion app 2022.10.1, and WebRTC 3.0.0. I have a dashboard page with 3 custom:webrtc-camera cards:

cards:
  - type: custom:webrtc-camera
    entity: camera.cat_room
    muted: true
    ui: false
  - type: custom:webrtc-camera
    entity: camera.back_yard
    muted: true
    ui: false
  - type: custom:webrtc-camera
    entity: camera.garage
    muted: true
    ui: false

When the dashboard loads, the three camera cards start loading their streams. As each stream loads, it becomes full screen. I also have dashboard pages for each individual camera. The same thing happens on those -- as soon as the camera stream loads, the video becomes full screen.

This isn't 100% consistent. The video becoming full screen happens most of the time when I open a page with a webrtc-camera card, but not every time.

For me, at least, this behavior only seems to happen in the iPhone Companion app. The Companion app on an iPad, and Safari on any device, behave normally.

I have the same issue on iPhone with companion but only on cellular connection if the stream is chunking. On local network the issue does not appear!

edit: after I added stun:8555 to go2rtc.yaml and forwareded that port in my router the issue is no more existing for me.

edit2: false positive: problem stays the same. But does not happen so often anymore. Feels like in Home network it works as designed and on cellular it happens with full screen from time to time.

Same issue here iPhone 13 pro max, iOS 16.0, Home Assistant 2023.1.2, Companion App 2022.10.1 (2022.424)

As temporary solution you can disable mp4 mode:

mode: webrtc,mse,mjpeg

But none of you will see the stream from the camera at all. Because:

• webrtc won't work for you because you don't setup external access
• mse won't work for you because you have iPhone...
• mp4 won't work for you because full screen problem (will try to fix it)

PS. MP4 used only when WebRTC and MSE can't be played on your device.

[jason0x43]

Setting mode to webrtc,mse resolves the issue in the companion app on my iPhone — videos start playing normally, without automatically switching to full screen.

[Subtielbeek]

mode: webrtc,mse,mjpeg

Can confirm that this works! 😄

Yes removing mp4 does fixes the iPhone issue

Fixed in v3.0.1
