Frigate

[mikki8]

Hi Guys,

I have a bunch of Yi Pro 2K Home and running them on Frigate.
I have a Bunch of Issues also with it.

• weird glitching and ghosting in the recordings
• crashing ffmpeg(frigate says so)
• missing recording maybe due the crash
• sound delays

Even when the preview of the cam is good in frigate, home assistant and VLC player.

Is this a config issue ?
what am i doing wrong ? is there a best practice config for frigate ?

Did you try to stream the cam directly instead of proxy it through go2rtc?

[mikki8]

yes i did it before the most time. migrated to go2rtc 2 months ago - same quality - ghosting etc - but more snappier and perfomance but maybe this is a personal experience
