[Support]: Just one camera is working if both are enabled in the config.yml

[SinneDOnline]

Describe the problem you are having

I have two camera's. Both are working absolutely fine independent of each other. But when I enable them both just one of the two is working. It could be either one if I restart the docker container.

What am I missing here ?

The logs indicate no problems so you are going to need to be more specific about what is actually not working

[SinneDOnline]

The jsmpeg stream is black. mse and webrtc are working fine.

[NickM-27]

Interesting, and no errors shown in the logs after letting it run for a bit?

[SinneDOnline]

Hoped I did something stupid... Log files still the same after 1 hour, no errors to be found. : /

The only thing I spotted is the FPS: Unknown in FFprobe.

[NickM-27]

What happens if you configure the terras camera to connect directly to the camera in the frigate section?

[SinneDOnline]

If I only configure terras to connect directly, I get the jsmpeg stream. But now the tuin jsmpeg stream is missing / black screen.

If I configure them both to connect directly, I get no jsmpeg stream (black screen) on terras and a working jsmpeg stream on tuin.

And still no errors in the logs

[NickM-27]

what device are you running on? This sounds like some kind of system issue where it does not have enough CPU to process both cameras.

[SinneDOnline]

AMD A10-7850k 3.7Ghz 8Gb DDR3

[SinneDOnline]

Disabled hardware acceleration for ffmpeg, now both streams are visible but at a much higher CPU load. Do you have any idea's, suggestions on how to fix the problem with hardware acceleration enabled ?

[NickM-27]

Ah I see, in that case it could very well be a VRAM issue. Might need to look in the BIOS to increase the amount of RAM dedicated to the iGPU

[SinneDOnline]

Yeah, that is a great suggestion! If I remember correctly (been a long time) I configured the server PC with very little shared memory for the iGPU.
