sorry, i dont know how to assemble ffmpeg step-by-step. but maybe a startpoint is the minimal configuration? -> https://docs.frigate.video/guides/getting_started#step-3-add-a-minimal-camera-configuration

[dedalusjinja]

I have already created my working configuration. only the log is filled with errors like: ffmpeg.cam.record ERROR : [segment @ 0x55fccd911b00] Non-monotonous DTS in output stream 0:0; previous: 251330957, current: 251330957; changing to 251330958. This may result in incorrect timestamps in the output file. [ 2021-12-11 13:39:41] ffmpeg.cam.detect ERROR : rtsp://xxxxxxx : corrupt decoded frame in stream 0 [2021-12-11 13:39:41] ffmpeg.cam.detect ERROR: [h264 @ 0x55c2de81d180] corrupted macroblock 11 37 (total_coeff=-1) [2021-12-11 13:39:41] ffmpeg.cam.detect ERROR : [h264 @ 0x55c2de81d180] error while decoding MB 11 37

The camera entity camera.cam_person does not support requesting width and height, please open an issue with the integration author

Or no error in log but video streaming problems in rtmp or recorder. Configurations that I have found from other users do not work because they make my camera green, or other errors in the logs or even worse streams. So i would like to understand where to start to create a right set of ffmpeg args for each camera
