We think this has something to do with the stream size (at the Apple TV the stream size is 2 times bigger than at an iPhone), so more dropouts and delays or with the ffmpeg coding?
I don't really understand what this means. The code here does not really do anything with the video stream at all, it just forwards the RTP packets from Ring exactly as they are. The audio stream is slightly modified, either transcoded into AAC_ELD (for cameras operating in bridged mode), or repacketized into the very specific format Apple requires for Opus (cameras in non-bridged mode). None of this could explain why a stream to one device would be 2x more than to another. I'd be curious how you are measuring this.
Regardless, this sounds more like a networking issue than anything else as the video stream is simply forwarded as Ring sends it and streams from Ring are not high-bandwidth in any way.

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond, it is appreciated.
I am not a programmer, but I do know about networks and Apple products.
If it's not the encoding or compression of the video stream, what could it be?
Both via Ethernet and WiFi, the stream on Apple TV stops after ~ five minutes. We never have those problems on a Mac, iPhone or iPad, at those devices the connection is good and stable, even at another location.
It is the last generation Apple TV (third), connected with Ethernet.
After every restart of the Apple TV, the video stream works perfectly for the first few minutes, including the motion detection. But after about 5 minutes there is only a gray image.
Thanks for the support.

@McJohnPi I'm sorry we don't have a more direct answer for you, but this really doesn't sound like something we can solve at the homebridge plugin level. Once we hand the stream to HomeKit, Apple is completely responsible for how it is transmitted/handled. If it's working properly on iPad/iPhone, then we are probably doing our job correctly. It's entirely possible that this is just a HomeKit bug, which may be fixed in a future TvOS update. I wish I could provide more specific ideas, but there is only so much we control in the overall system.

Thank you very much for your extended answer and explanation. I'm afraid we have to live with this bug.
Are there any other Homebridge users with a Homepod mini who use the Ring camera on the Apple TV?
