RTMP streams suddenly low res?

[eblohm]

Using 0.9.0RC4, but the issue started on 0.9.0RC3. I haven't touched my config file, and I don't think anything was added as a breaking change that would cause this so I'm not sure what I'm not understanding properly.

Here's the config for one of my cameras:

  garage:
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@192.168.1.217:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1
          roles:
            - detect
        - path: rtsp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@192.168.1.217:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0
          roles:
            - rtmp
            - record
    detect:
      width: 704
      height: 480
      fps: 5
    motion:
      mask:
        - 1914,156,2517,160,2513,69,1916,69
    rtmp:
      enabled: true
    record:
      enabled: true
      retain_days: 25
      events:
        pre_capture: 5
        post_capture: 5
        retain:
          default: 25
    snapshots:
      enabled: true
      timestamp: true
      bounding_box: true
      crop: False
      retain:
        default: 25

Pre- 0.9.0RC3 my RTMP streams would be full resolution of my camera (2592x1944) but now it's significantly lower. I'm assuming it's using the sub-stream that's being used by detect, but I'm not sure why. This specific camera is an Amcrest IP5M-T1179EW-28MM, but I'm running into it with all of my cameras (all Amcrest).

How are you viewing the rtmp feed?

Also, can you post the JSON config from the debug tab in the UI?

Are you certain you still have the stream component enabled in home assistant? It falls back to an mjpeg stream based on the detect role if you don't.

[eblohm]

By that do you mean the stream: entry in Home Assistant's configuration.yaml? I have that, I've also restarted HA, uninstalled and reinstalled the integration, and the HACS custom component, but nothing gets the RTMP stream working normally

[blakeblackshear]

Can you try using VLC to connect to rtmp://<ip_of_frigate>/live/garage?

[eblohm]

That way does give me the high resolution stream

[blakeblackshear]

That means home assistant is pulling the mjpeg stream instead for some reason. Typically that's because stream isn't enabled in home assistant.

[eblohm]

Hm, could it be anything else? I have default_config: set in my configuration.yaml for Home Assistant, which automatically enables stream. I do think you're right though, because the more I think about it, I realized when I would view the camera I'd have the option to Preload Stream, and none of the cameras have that option anymore..

Gonna close this because it's obviously not related to Frigate, it's something with Home Assistant/my HA setup
