Hi, the latest firmware seem to use hevc h265 for the 2560x1440 stream, and messing up with my ONVIF NVR setup, as it do not support h265.
stream url rtsp://192.168.120.182:554/stream2 [Rebroadcast Plugin]: -hide_banner -use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1 -r 25 -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp:[REDACTED] -rtsp_transport tcp -vcodec copy -acodec copy -pkt_size 32000 -f rtsp rtsp://127.0.0.1:32971/f431eb34b844de3b [Rebroadcast Plugin]: Input #0, rtsp, from 'rtsp://ZZZZ:XXXX@192.168.120.182:554/stream1': [Rebroadcast Plugin]: Metadata: [Rebroadcast Plugin]: title : Session streamed by "TP-LINK RTSP Server" [Rebroadcast Plugin]: Duration: N/A, start: 1741576380.246078, bitrate: N/A [Rebroadcast Plugin]: Stream #0:0: Video: hevc (Main), yuv420p(tv), 2560x1440, 25 fps, 29.83 tbr, 90k tbn [Rebroadcast Plugin]: Stream #0:1: Audio: pcm_alaw, 8000 Hz, mono, s16, 64 kb/s
The firmware release note make no metion about switching codes, the product description page also not updated.
How can I switch back to H264 with current firmware, and how can I downgrade the firmware if I cannot switch back to h264.
Thanks a lot!

@Solla-topee Thank you for the quick reply. I think I’ll wait until the official firmware is released. In the meantime, I’ll use the 640x360 stream, which is still in H.264

Hi,
What third-party app are you using?
Can you stream the camera via RTSP stream 2 on the third-party app?

@Solla-topee i added my camera to Scrypted and it sent me a notification "
Tapo C222 video codec must be h264 but is h265.
This stream may fail. Read the instructions in the HomeKit Plugin to properly configure your camera codec."
