🚀 Lovelace Hass Aarlo v0.4.0-alpha.4 — Release Notes

Version 0.4.0-alpha.4 introduces native WebRTC live streaming for cameras that support it, with instant startup, zero transcoding latency, and seamless switching between live streams and recorded library media.

🌟 What's New in v0.4.0-alpha.4

1. Native Home Assistant WebRTC Live View

• Automatic Detection: When streaming a camera that advertises web_rtc stream type (or configured with webrtc / sip in image_view), the card automatically connects via native WebRTC instead of HLS.
• Direct Signaling: Negotiates live video over Home Assistant's native WebSocket (camera/webrtc/get_client_config, camera/webrtc/offer, and camera/webrtc/candidate).
• Media Attachment: Directly assigns the live WebRTC MediaStream to the card's <video> element, preserving all glance icons, door/light controls, and modal views.
• Instant Teardown: Automatically closes the peer connection and unsubscribes from signaling on stream stop or modal close, immediately releasing the camera.

2. Seamless Library & Recording Playback

• When clicking a recorded video in the library view, any active WebRTC or HLS stream is automatically stopped to avoid camera firmware conflicts.
• Video source resets cleanly between WebRTC MediaStream (srcObject) and recorded MP4 playback (src).
