Problem with the resolution of the camera displayed on the dashboard in auto mode

[Patryk192x]

The problem

I added a camera via ONVIF, after adding it to the dashboard and setting the auto mode (refresh every 10 seconds), the entity selected mainstream, the image is displayed from the second stream anyway, and only when I enter the image does it display the live preview from the main stream

This is likely not a problem with the onvif integration itself - what card are you using to display on a dashboard?

[Patryk192x]

Picture-Entity
I had to reduce the quality of 2 streams to work on the tablet, and now I would like to have 1 stream via ONVIF and 2 I have to have through another integration already for live viewing. onvif unfortunately does not work on the tablet teclast - the image on live displays 2 seconds and is black

For the Picture Entity card, under Camera Entity, it should show multiple streams that your camera offers, e.g. for my Tapo cameras, I see: Snapshot, SD Stream, and HD Stream. Do you see all your camera's streams there? What do you see on the device page itself?
