Incorrect video resolution from Synology camera integration

[Spirituss]

The problem

I use cameras connected to Synology Surveillance 8.2.2-5766 and Synology camera platform integration for them in HA. Lovelace shows stream video from that cameras only in low resolution despite of any settings of the Synology Surveillance.
In Synology Surveillance I tried to change resolution in:

• Stream Profile (IP camera -> device settings->video)
• Schedule Recording Settings (IP camera -> recording settings -> stream)
• Live View Stream Settings (IP camera -> live view settings -> stream)

I see two issues:

• Even if all of them have high resolution settings, lovelace shows low res stream in small window which neither can't be resized nor be opened in full screen mode in HA. But in case I use streams from those cameras directly connected via ONVIF HA integration, lovelace shows high res video stream in window with correct appropriate pixel size.
• For ONVIF direct connection stream the video window has Pause button which allows to stop streaming, while Synology camera integration stream has no one.

Environment

• Home Assistant Core release with the issue: 0.111.0
• Last working Home Assistant Core release (if known): None
• Operating environment (Home Assistant/Supervised/Docker/venv): Home Assistant/Docker
• Integration causing this issue: Synology camera platform
• Link to integration documentation on our website: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/synology/

This is duplicated with #29931. We're currently merging the synology camera integration into synology_dsm integration (ProtoThis/python-synology#53) and the problems you mentioned are going to be fixed with the new merged integration.

@shenxn When are you going to merge ProtoThis/python-synology#53 with synology_dsm integration? It is really useful adjustment.

[shenxn]

I'll start working on that soon. Waiting for @Quentame to release a new version of the library.

You can start working on it by targeting master as dependency 😉

I would like to merge a new feature before release, a little bit more testing and it can be done.

Also, breaking news, I have a RTSP compatible camera, so I can test Surveillance Station ! 🎉

Wonderfull news! Thanks a lot!

[shenxn]

@Quentame I already have a draft branch merging the camera into synology_dsm. I'll create a new PR today.

@Quentame Great news! Will it be included into 0.115?
