"SIP Streaming in progress, RTSP Streaming is not allowed, try after some time !!!"

Brigitta — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 16:38:12 GMT

I recently purchased 2 new Essential Spotlight cameras and although they are functioning normally and sending me notifications, but I cannot livestream the feed. I continually get the above-referenced error code or "This camera is streaming on another device and cannot be accessed right now" - even though I'm the only active user trying to retrieve the feed when I look under active users. What can I do to livestream on these cameras?

I have reached out to the development team to look into this. As soon as there is an update I will reach out to the community.

I just restarted a camera, and now I'm seeing this message as well for it (But not another that has not been restarted).

This is even after restarting the camera several times, and also restarting my phone.

The web/browser streaming shows that the streaming is in use by another device and can't be viewed now.

Firmware 1.080.22.1_42_39af8c3

Hardware VMC4041PAerH4

Serial Number AAE41A75B2D49

Interestingly... This device was not previously in Google Home; so I added it.

I can now view it within Google Home, but I still cannot view it within Arlo App, nor via my.arlo.com.

Arlo App shows: SIP Streaming in progress, RTSP Streaming is not allowed, try after some time !!!

my.arlo.com shows: Live Streaming is currently in use by another device

My other camera which has not been rebooted still works within both Arlo App and my.arlo.com

Stranger yet... it just started working again on the Arlo App, but it still does not work for the my.arlo.com

@BrookeN@Oddly enough, my device is live streaming again. I plan to replace it. I was just curious about what the cause was for this situation. I thought it may have been hacked

I am also having this issue. Started a couple days ago. I can stream on the app, but not on any of my Google Hubs. Started with the indoor essential cameras and now also the outdoor camera won't stream. Spent yesterday on the phone with Arlo support and it was zero help. I've unlinked, relinked, restarted, removed and readded. Everything short of factory resetting everything. Very frustrating!

We just had this exaxt message/error with our doorbell camera. It was also making this loud screeching noise for 15 minutes until we finally got it to stop.

BrookeN — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 18:14:45 GMT

@opa12x can you try logging out and logging back in for me and seeing if the behavior is the same?

The development team was able to reproduce the issue as described and is continuing to work toward a solution. As soon as we have more information available, we'll post an update.

Update 06:53pm: Seems to have resolved itself. Only thing I did was log in on a desktop browser.

Now happening to my Essential doorbell as well.

Rebooted, logged out and in, no change.
