So I just setup MotionEye on Home Assistant and added an RTSP wyze cam to it. Montioneye gives you 2 URLs, one to access the stream and one to access the still image. The stream works fine from octoprint but when I put in the image url it doesn’t work. Basically a 401 error.
I think it’s because MotionEye is directly serving up the stream, but the still image is coming from Home Assistant, and is only allowing access to the still image via an authenticated session.
I asked this in the home assistant subreddit, with no response, so I figured I would ask here to see if anyone has tried this. Let me know if you know how to access that still image without authenticating.
So I couldn't get MotionEye working, but I was able to do this via ZoneMinder. I installed the docker container:
Note, read his whole install doc. You need to wait like 5 minutes and look at the logs to make sure it's done. THen you can load the URL at https://IP:8443/zm
Then add the Wyze camera(Or any RTSP feed), and access that feed via these URLS:
Anyone coming here with the same issue. You can get it running with Motioneye installed within HomeAssistant very easy. While its true like the OP said that the original stream URL works fine, but the stll image does not. There is a setting in the addon to add a port to allow you to access MotionEye directly from a browser (so not within Home Assistant). The setting is in the picture. If you set port 9080 like I did, then the URL to the still image becomes http://IPADDRESS:9080/picture/2/current/ which Octoprint can use without any problem.
