It may still be a bandwidth issue, VLC uses UDP by default so any missed packets are just dropped, while Frigate uses TCP by default so there is higher bandwidth demand especially in cases where packets may be commonly dropped. |

Describe the problem you are having
I am trying to restream a few reolink cameras from one device to another device through a vpn. On the main device, the restream is working for all cameras (27 cameras). However, when I try to connect to the restream on the separate devices through the vpn, I am getting very poor streams/no streams at all. I am able to access the streams using the same rtsp url through vlc, but not through frigate. Other re-streamed cameras from other devices not using reolink work successfully. Certain things have been redacted from the config, logs, and stats (dictated by <>).
This has worked in the past, but something has changed, and it doesn't seem to be due to the newer versions of Frigate because I'm having the same issue with this running on 0.13.2 on a different device. Originally, I thought it might've been a bandwidth issue from the original device's network, BUT I am able to restream through VLC without issue. So I feel like it's something with my configurations somehow.
It's most likely not an issue with Frigate, but I'm just hoping to get more eyes on the problem to see if there's something I'm missing or some way I can optimize restreaming with these stupid reolink cameras.
