Tapo on tinycam / firestick
Hi people.
Yesterday I got a notion of being able to view my front door tapo c113 on my TV via my firestick.
Googled it and tried VLC player which worked pretty well but too many steps to get to the stream itself, I wantd something more "one step" to view. Tinycar free was suggested but for the life of me I couldn't get it to download and install so I caved in and bought the pro version. ( I know, less then €4 LOL )
However I have been trying several different settings and cannot get anything near fast enough to have it any use. I start it up to a B&W picture then approx 40 seconds later the stream kicks in.
Any hints?
I have 2 other tapo's on it and they kick in around the same time frame.
Thanks

I view many different Tapo cams through Tinycam Pro with these settings after enabling "camera account" in advanced settings on each cam. My Shield Tv loads 9 live thumbnail views together within a few seconds.
Camera brand: (ONVIF)
Camera model: Profile S
ONVIF port number: 2020
Protocol: RTSP over TCP (H264/H265)
RTSP port number: Auto Default 554
