C225: Stream gets interrupted when privacy mode is on, timeout in logs

[Xlinx64]

Description

I have 2 C225 Cameras, the hardware Version 1.0 works fine but the 2.0 has issues when turning on privacy mode.
It seems like the 2.0 kills the stream completely while the version one shows a "Privacy Mode is on" message. I have to refresh the browser to reload the stream after turning off privacy mode.
In the logs I see a lot of timeout messages which isnt optimal.

Reproduction Steps

1. Turn on privacy mode.
2. See logs

Expected behavior

Turning on privacy mode shouldnt spam the log.
Best case scenario would be that it works like the HW V1.0. But I am not sure if this is doable.

If applicable, add error logs.

Integration only exposes the link for rtsp stream to HA, then HA itself handles the logic. The error here is coming up from HA and there is nothing we can do in this integration to solve it. You could hide errors from homeassistant.components.stream.stream.camera in your configuration.

Thank you for clarification

@Xlinx64 I believe this might be solved with the latest C225 2.0 Firmware. Version 1.0.11 Build 240826. Might be worth a re-test.

I was experiencing the same behaviour with the Tapo C225 2.0 and Frigate, where the the camera was in Privacy Mode it would error on the stream, which was not the case with the 1.0 version. After the latest firmware update the C225 displays the "Privacy Mode is On" text when the privacy mode is enabled, as it does with 1.0, and solved my issues in Frigate.

@ben-watch
Thats nice to hear, thanks for the info. But I cannot use the integraton since Tapo made it incompatible with newer firmware.
