Add custom title to stream page

I access my webcam streams through the direct URL for streams.html
When I do, the browser title is always "go2rtc - Stream"

Is there any way to specify in the config file for a camera an alternate title? I'd like to distinguish each camera with its own title

Thanks for a great utility!

Add custom title to stream page #1957

Currently, a stream doesn't have a name. It only has an ID, which also serves as a name. I added this ID to the page title.

@AlexxIT

@AlexxIT could the stream metadata title also be set to that stream ID?

Using go2rtc v1.9.13 from Docker solves the stream page title issue present in v1.9.12.

My issue is similar, but with the stream metadata title.

mpv OSD and window legend shows all streams named as "go2rtc/1.9.13" since that is the metadata title it gets from the go2rtc streams.

$ mpv --ontop --geometry=320x240-0+0 rtsp://<go2rtc_ip>:8554/camh264
 (+) Video --vid=1 (h264 320x240 5.000fps)
File tags:
 Title: go2rtc/1.9.13
Cannot load libcuda.so.1
Using hardware decoding (vaapi).
VO: [gpu] 320x240 vaapi[nv12]

Using ffmpeg I can easily change the stream metadata title.

$ ffmpeg -hide_banner -i rtsp://<go2rtc_ip>:8554/camh264 -rtsp_transport tcp -f rtsp -metadata title="Shack" rtsp://localhost:8554/fabada
[rtsp @ 0x5598ff96a540] method SETUP failed: 461 Unsupported transport

So I tried to add a custom ffmpeg source to set the stream metadata title based on the json probe source info, without luck.

~/go2rtc/go2rtc.yaml

streams:
  cam:
    - http://<cam_ip>/cam.mjpg

  camh264: exec:ffmpeg -hide_banner -v error -fflags nobuffer -flags low_delay -r 5 -i http://<cam_ip>/cam.mjpg -c:v libx264 -g 50 -profile:v high -level:v 4.1 -preset:v superfast -tune:v zerolatency -pix_fmt:v yuv420p -an -user_agent ffmpeg/go2rtc -rtsp_transport tcp -f rtsp -metadata title="Shack" {output}

  camh264a: ffmpeg:http://<cam_ip>/cam.mjpg#video=h264

The resulting stream metadata title is always is set back to go2rtc/1.9.13.

@lulol

@lulol it's better to create separate issue, because your not about webui, but about rtsp
