How to swich back to H.264 codec for 2K Stream
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."
