picture-entity camera feeds freezing

[teal lance]

I'm using picture-entity cards with camera_view: live for my cameras. They're a combination of google nest indoor cameras, google nest outdoor cameras, and a google nest hub max - 5 camera feeds running simultaneously at all times. After enough time (some number of hours), one or more of the camera feeds freeze, and I reload the page to get them to start playing again.

I'm running home assistant on a raspberry pi (I think raspberry pi 4B, 8GB?) with an SD card.

• Is there a way to debug what would be causing the feed to freeze?
• Could the CPU on the raspberry pi itself be too limited to handle the camera feeds?
• Could the freezing be related to running on an SD card?

you could check the system logs to see if theres anything meaningful inn there
you can open the hardware monitor and see what the cpu load is with and without the cameras
running on an SD card does cause various problems and is generally not recommended for long term

does this happen on all systems/browsers? just to rule out a client issue

Thank you for the tips

I only ever have leave the dashboard open on my computer in chrome, so I can't say for sure.

Having a look at 'System monitor processor use', it's only sitting at 5% with all of the cameras on, so I guess it's not that.

Next time I notice it happen I'll check the logs.
