[Config Support]: No live view for Foscam camera in Safari

[jerome71]

Describe the problem you are having

I get no live view (I just have the spinning thing) in Safari for a Foscam camera (probably R4M but not 100% sure).

• this applies to Safari in macOS Sequoia, iOS 18? as well as iPadOS 18.1 beta 4.
• live view for this Foscam camera works in Chrome, Edge and Safari on the Mac
• live view works in Safari for my other cameras (Axis and Dahua)
• detection via secondary stream and recording/playback of the primary stream work well, including playback in Safari.

If I change Go2RTC settings for this camera from the raw rtsp stream to ffmpeg, with video=copy or video=h264, I get a working live view in Safari, but using the secondary stream (I can see that because the timestamp is bigger), whereas Chrome, Edge and Firefox on the Mac always show the primary stream.

This is workable for me for now - I use Safari mostly, and exclusively on iPhone and iPad.
I've seen the similar discussion and I'd love to be help but do not know where to look.

What audio codec is your camera sending?

Check out the camera settings recommendations in the docs.

Thanks🙏.
(according to VLC) the camera outputs PCM MU LAW (mlaw), mono, 8kHZ/16bit. I do not want to use the camera's audio but couldn't find how to disable it in the Foscam app.

...and I had put an extra "#" in the camera's URL after "#video=copy" 🙈.
I removed it and it seems to work very well now in Safari.

Yep, just doing #video=copy will remove audio
