Hey there,
I‘m using nabu casa‘s alexa skill. Everything works fine, except showing live views of my cameras on my echo show 5 (gen 2). When I say ‚Alexa, show front door‘, Alexa shows ‚Waiting for Home Assistant‘ and nothing happens. In my nginx logs I can see, Alexa is consuming a m3u8 file. After that, no more traffic. I‘m using generic cameras with a h264 streams without audio. The stream is generated using go2rtc (seperate container).
Do you have an idea, how to debug the problem?

Thank you for your help!

Streaming happens locally, and Alexa devices don't support local media (like TTS) so I would expect this not to work.

#

This is why separate integrations are needed to add Echoes as media_player entities into HA.

But both Google and Alexa have become more finicky with cameras over the years
