Description

**iOS device model, version and app version**
Iphone 16 pro, latest software versions

**Home Assistant Core Version**
latest

**Describe the bug**
I am trying to get a notification with live view (when long pressed) from my camera (reolink doorbell) in HA when someone walks by the camera.

The notification works fine combined with an automatic snapshot as a preview.

When I long press the notification, it tries to play the live stream.
But it only loads a still image. When I press pause/play again, the image refreshes.

Workaround every time I want to watch the live stream:
I can even change the playback speed to 0.5 and then the video keeps streaming the live feed (at 0.5x speed).

This tells me that everything is configured correctly, but there seems to be a bug somewhere.

**Expected behavior**
The live feed will stream normally without the need to adjust the playback speed.

**Code of notification**
action: notify.mobile_app_iphone_XXX
data:
title: Entrace Door
message: Person detected
data:
entity_id: camera.kamera_eingangstur_sub
push:
interruption-level: active
category: camera

If no fix: is there an alternative solution I could try?
like adding a one second delay somehow?
or is there a way to automatically slow down the playback speed? (I did not find this in the documentation)
