[Config Support]: Second identical camera has green screen #7442

Closed Surfingjelly closed 1 year ago

Describe the problem you are having

Hi,

I recently added a second Reolink 520a camera to Frigate (the Living Room Cam below), replicating the original config for the first fully working cam (the nursery cam). However the 'MSE' stream on the living room cam shows a solid green screen, whereas the Nursery Cam is working.

I'm conscious the links for the go2rtc section aren't set up correctly for my use with Home Assistant, but this wasn't hindering the original working cam.

Oddly the errors in the logs relate to the nursery cam, but that remains working- recording events correctly, can see the live stream etc.

Edit: Interestingly, the camera switching to night mode has made it a bit better - only part of the screen is green, and only sometimes. There's a lot of smearing of the stream though.

I see some problems here

- "ffmpeg:reolink#audio=opus"

is wrong, reolink should be changed to match the name of the stream

also, you should be using http-flv not rtsp, rtsp is known to have issues like this on reolink cameras

Surfingjelly commented 1 year ago

Thanks - the first was an oversight (the first camera was called reolink before adding the second).

I'm confused as the RTSP stream has (and is) working perfectly fine for the nursery camera, but not the other, despite the same config. I'd seen in the docs that this had been flagged, but know people have got reolink cameras running with rtsp. How would I switch to http-flv and what are the benefits/downsides compared to rtsp?

Can be network conditions or other issues, but I used to run a fully reolink setup and this type of issue was very common with rtsp, I had to ask support for a beta firmware that fixed the issue.

How would I switch to http-flv and what are the benefits/downsides compared to rtsp?

Make sure http is enabled and then using it like the docs show, there are no downsides to it for 4MP cameras

Surfingjelly commented 1 year ago

Awesome - thank you. I'll have a play around with my settings and config and see where I get to; hopefully a fully working setup for both cameras!

Surfingjelly commented 1 year ago

So I have 2 working RTSP streams - I'd flicked a switch on the network switch attached to the living room cam which was limiting the ports speed. I do think I need to be properly looking into the best setup, and properly sorting rtc2go, but for now it lets me keep an eye on the dog while we're out which is great. Huge thanks for the support!
