[Config Support]: Cams working, restream not

[MrDarth]

Describe the problem you are having

Hi together,

i have a working Camera (Hikvision DS-2CD2T87G2P-LSU/SL) in Frigate.
Person detection with Coral is doing fine.
Also iGPU accelation is working.

Now i want to create a restream of that camera to some tablet devices.
But frigate is not able to create a stream.
Log has entries:

• "Unable to read frames from ffmpeg process.
• ffmpeg process is not running. exiting capture thread...

I found a thread here to add a ffmpeg parameter to stream source
So i changed go2rtc stream source from

rtsp://--USER--:[email protected]:554/Streaming/channels/102/

to

ffmpeg:rtsp://--USER--:[email protected]:554/Streaming/channels/102/#video=copy#audio=copy

But this did not change anything.

Anyone has an idea?

Kind Regards
Darth

Revert your go2rtc stream to: ffmpeg:rtsp://--USER--:[email protected]:554/Streaming/channels/102/#video=copy#audio=copy and then try enabling go2rtc trace logs:

go2rtc:
  log: 
    exec: trace

Thx for this tip.

Acces to STUN Port was blocked, after updating firewall rules. Restream is working.
