Describe the problem you are having

I had this issue already some months ago. So it doesn't occur very often but it's very bad though, because it simply stops recording from that sudden point on and I can only fix this by manually restarting the frigate container.
It looks like frigate is only recording audio and no video anymore. The recorded files are just some kb and there is only audio recorded. Live view is still working though.
At the time when it stops recording video there is no output in the logs. It only happens to a single camera, in this case a Hikvision. I also have some Reolink in use. Sadly I cannot remember if it also affected the Hikvision or a Reolink camera the last time this happened.

This is an issue when using go2rtc, the stream will stop and reconnect and only connect with audio. You can try updating go2rtc

Thank you for your quick reply!
If this is really the issue, then I will switch back to ffmpeg for all streams. I just tried go2rtc but was not really using it's advantages in production.
Let's see if this will solve the problem.

Is there an issue entered for this in go2rtc? I had a look but couldn't find anything. I am having the same issue and would like to track it. I think the version of go2rtc I have in the docker image is 1.9.2.

Is there any way frigate could detect if a go2rtc stream doesn't contain a video stream(or audio or both) and restart it?

The issue happens when the stream stops and Frigate reconnects, so stopping the stream to restart would just create an infinite restart loop

bikemike Jun 29, 2024

Does Frigate have the ability to restart a go2rtc stream? Yes, I imagine it could create an infinite loop if frigate restarts the go2rtc stream and the new stream still doesn't contain video. But if restarting the go2rtc stream fixes the video then the problem is solved. So perhaps a limit on how frequently it tries to restart the go2rtc stream could be added.

It seems like this would be better fixed in go2rtc though. Is there an issue open for this?

the stream failing causing it to need to be restarted is what causes the problem in the first place
