[Support]: Cannot get started

[joshuisken]

Describe the problem you are having

Using docker stable and 0.12.1 release cannot get started with minimal config. No frames have been received.

I tried the attached docker-compose.yml, with some commented options as well. BTW, I also tried directly from the github repo today.

ffmpeg crashes whereas ffprobe responds normally. Both on /dev/video0 and on rstp:... streams.
I added a logging command in the container code to print the failing ffmpeg commands.
Not being an expert on ffmpeg, so I have no clue how to solve this.

Attached is part of the docker log, grepped on ffmpeg

The attached probe is obtained with:
docker exec -ti frigate "ffprobe rtsp:https://192.168.1.11:554/user=admin_password=_channel=1_stream=0.sdp"

I hope someone can help me. Both cameras work fine using a short python script with opencv2 and also with ffplay on the host system. Host is ubuntu 22.04 with ffmpeg version 4.4.2 and opencv2 version 4.5.4.

You can't just use /dev/video without also changing the input args, the default input args expect rtsp stream.

rtsp:https://191.168.1.11:554/user=admin_password=_channel=1_stream=0.sdp: Connection timed out your second camera is timing out, perhaps because it is UDP only and does not support TCP in which case you should be using preset-rtsp-udp as the input args

[joshuisken]

Argh... looks like a typo: rtsp:https://191.168.1.11:554 must be rtsp:https://192.168.1.11:554!!
While debugging I used intermixed 192 and 191 for hours which completely confused me.
