Waiting for Buffers

[LoneWalkerWolf]

Describe the bug Just updated to latest version (0.5.12). Log is now getting flooded with errors. neolink::rtsp] passageway: Retryable error: passageway: Error while waiting for buffers Caused by: Dropped connection

This is the same across all 5 cameras I have.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour. Example:

1. Create this configuration file:

bind = "IP_ADDRESS"
bind_port = 554

[[cameras]]
name = "driveway"
username = "admin"
password = "SECURE_PASSWORD_HERE"
address = "IP_ADDRESS:9000"
channel_id = 0
stream = "mainStream"

[[cameras]]
name = "porch"
username = "admin"
password = "SECURE_PASSWORD_HERE"
address = "IP_ADDRESS:9000"
channel_id = 1
stream = "mainStream"

[[cameras]]
name = "side"
username = "admin"
password = "SECURE_PASSWORD_HERE"
address = "IP_ADDRESS:9000"
channel_id = 2
stream = "mainStream"

[[cameras]]
name = "passageway"
username = "admin"
password = "SECURE_PASSWORD_HERE"
address = "IP_ADDRESS:9000"
channel_id = 4
stream = "mainStream"

[[cameras]]
name = "backgarden"
username = "admin"
password = "SECURE_PASSWORD_HERE"
address = "IP_ADDRESS:9000"
channel_id = 6
stream = "mainStream"

3. Launch Neolink:

Expected behavior Cameras work as before, with no issues.

Versions NVR software: blank Neolink software: 0.5.12 Reolink camera model and firmware: H2MB14 config version v2.0.0.0

I changed mainStream to subStream and now between 2/4 camera work. It's very 50/50 wether they work or not and some will timeout after a while. The rest stay on the Stream not ready output.

Interesting. What was the last one working for you properly. It will help me isolate the change that might have introduced it.

When I get the time I'm going to see if I can make a no buffer option too that will work a bit more like it did before. But will have to give up on accurate time delivery of the frames and just push them through as they arrive

[LoneWalkerWolf]

I believe it was 0.5.8. However, I only had four cameras then. Added one more today and decided to update at the same time.

[LoneWalkerWolf]

Was reading your comment on issue #88. Reduced all stream bitrates to 2048kbps. Everything seems to be working now.

[QuantumEntangledAndy]

Ok then closing then. Let me know if there is anything else
