Description

**Home Assistant Android app version(s):**

**Android version(s):** 14

**Device model(s):** Samsung S24 Ultra

**Home Assistant version:** 2025.1.2-full

**Last working Home Assistant release (if known):** don't remember

**Description of problem, include YAML if issue is related to notifications:**

For the past few weeks, the video feed from my CCTV cameras plays for **2-3 seconds** and then stops when viewed in the HA Companion App.

#### **Steps to Reproduce**
1. Open the **HA Companion App**.
2. Navigate to the page displaying the CCTV feeds.
3. The video plays for a few seconds (**2-3 seconds**) and then freezes.

#### **Expected Behavior**
The video feed should stream continuously without stopping.

#### **Additional Testing & Findings**
- Initially suspected an issue with **WebRTC** or **go2rtc** custom components, so I updated both, but the issue persisted.
- Added the same cameras using **HA entity cards** (to exclude the above components), but the problem remained.
- Tested the same HA page on **Chrome Mobile** and **Firefox Mobile** → **No issues in browsers**.
- For the above reasons, it seems that the problem is specific to the HA Companion App.
- No changes have been made to my HA server, CCTV hardware, network, or Android devices.
