Starting with version 2 the component supports two protocols automatically and simultaneously. WebRTC in some cases may not work with remote access, then the video will play using MSE. As soon as WebRTC is able to connect - video will play through it, MSE will be stopped.

Read the technology comparison in the readme.

You can disable WebRTC for some cameras and leave only MSE.
