HomeKit Cameras cut out after 5 seconds on Mac Mini
I have an unusual situation that I am at a loss to explain. We are a heavy Apple household and I have one device that is just acting weird.
One of our two wifi Apple TV 4K is the default home hub and is listed as the currently active one. It is running tvOS 26.1 at the moment. There are a few HKSV cameras set up, namely Aqara E1 and UniFi Protect Cameras that are being served via Scrypted.
When I connect to any of the cameras on my MacBook Air, iPhone, or iPad, it works great and I can stream to my heart's content. However, if I connect from my Mac mini, I will only get about 5 seconds of video and then it will disconnect.
I disconnected the Ethernet and have the Mini & Air on the same wifi sitting right next to each other and the same behavior is still exhibited. I am at a loss to explain it. The only think I can possible think of is that the Mini is on 26.3.1 and the Air is still on 26.2. Similarly, the Mini will routinely show "Updating..." for devices in HomeKit where my other devices won't.
