FFprobeTimeout on very simple configurations, but container internal `ffmpeg` command works.

Hello, I'm having a hard time connecting to the rtsp cameras.

Here is my configuration:

## Start by adding some cameras
ffmpeg:
  camera:
    camera_1:  # This value has to be unique across all cameras
      name: Camera 1
      host: NVR-P.lan
      port: 554
      path: '/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0'
      stream_format: rtsp
      protocol: rtsp
      rtsp_transport: tcp
      username: REDACTED
      password: REDACTED

darknet:
  object_detector:
    cameras:
      camera_1:  # Attach detector to the configured camera_1 above
        fps: 1
        scan_on_motion_only: false  # Scan for objects even when there is no motion
        labels:
          - label: person
            confidence: 0.75
            trigger_recorder: true

nvr:
  camera_1:  # Run NVR for camera_1

I get these errors:

[2024-05-16 08:40:13] [ERROR   ] [viseron.components.ffmpeg.stream.camera_1] - Retrying None in 16.0 seconds as it raised FFprobeTimeout: FFprobe command timed out after 60s.

When I get into the shell of the container, this command outputs encoded stuff:

ffmpeg -hide_banner -loglevel error -avoid_negative_ts make_zero -fflags nobuffer -flags low_delay -strict experimental -fflags +genpts -use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1 -vsync 0 -hwaccel vaapi -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -rtsp_transport tcp -i 'rtsp://REDACTED:REDACTED@NVR-P.lan:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0' -f rawvideo -pix_fmt nv12 pipe:1

I have also tried using the raw_command option but no luck.

I have also tried version 2.2.0, 2.3.0, and 3.0.0b4, and they all have this error.

So, there is no connectivity issues per se. Am I missing something in the configuration?

Never mind, I got it to work by adding this:

      fps: 6
      width: 1920
      height: 1080
      codec: h264
      audio_codec: null

Yeah something is definitely off with ffprobe. Have not been able to figure out what. I should move to something else.

Glad you got it sorted
