I am casting a dashboard to chromecast through:

action: cast.show_lovelace_view
data:
  entity_id: media_player.chromecast
  dashboard_path: dashboard-y
  view_path: camtest

At first, it shows all 12 camera thumbnails, then it will refresh the page after 2 seconds, and then only 4 camera streams will be left playing. The rest of the cards show the following error:

"Failed to start WebRTC stream..."

EDIT:

i found this in wiki:

https://github.com/AlexxIT/WebRTC/wiki/Cast-or-share-camera-stream

Up to 4 cameras fit on a regular lovelace view. If you switch the lovelace view to panel mode, one camera will be displayed in full screen.

Is it actually limited to 4 cameras? i was able to fit more than 4 by setting Visibility and row settings of my card. Another note, the same dashboard view works fine on PC and Android browser

Show config for all your cameras. rtsp DESCRIBE it's error from FFmpeg. Not related to WebUI.

What's weird is the cards are streaming just fine when viewed on a browser or android app. The errors are only showing when casting the dashboard to my Chromecast TV using the cast lovelace action

You show the default picture-glance cards. They're not relevant to this project. This project is about a custom card.

Now that go2rtc is enabled by HASS by default, does installing this from HACS not install go2rtc anymore?

The error in your screenshot is definitely from go2rtc. By the way, this is a completely different project of mine and does not involve this repository. This is an error from FFmpeg. FFmpeg is used for audio conversion.
I don't understand how this error could have gotten into your screenshots at all.
