https://pastebin.com/WWMg4ttQ Is there any way to create a loading preview animation? I often experience cameras freezing before they start showing the live preview. Is there a way to add an animation that continues until the image is fully loaded and shows a smooth preview?

The WebRTC card has a still image when the stream is loading, called poster. Maybe thats useable.
And did you enable the pre loading option in the camera entity?
