Hello everyone, I’m reaching out for some assistance with an issue I’m encountering while setting up Frigate in my Home Assistant environment. I’m relatively new to Linux and CCTV setups, so I appreciate any guidance you might be able to offer.
I’ve installed the Frigate addon for my CCTV cameras, and while the stream works perfectly in MotionEye, I’m unable to get it functioning within Frigate. I’ve gone through the logs and made some adjustments, but the problem persists. Here’s a bit more detail about what I’ve done so far:
I’ve configured the RTSP stream for my camera, ensuring the username, password, and IP address are correctly entered. I’ve also changed the webrtc port to 8556 since the default port was already in use. Despite these changes, I’m still encountering issues with the ffmpeg process not running properly.
Here’s a snippet of the configuration I’m using:
yaml
mqtt:
enabled: false
cameras:
name_of_your_camera1:
enabled: true
ffmpeg:
inputs:
- path: rtsp://(USERNAME):(PWD)@192.168.2.37:554/onvif1
detect:
enabled: false
width: 1280
height: 720
camera_groups:
test:
order: 1
icon: LuAccessibility
cameras:
- name_of_your_camera1
version: 0.15-1
The logs indicate that the ffmpeg process is crashing, and I’m seeing errors related to nonmatching transport in server replies and invalid data found when processing input. I’m not entirely sure what these errors mean or how to resolve them. I’ve tried restarting the addon, checking the firewall settings, and ensuring that the ports are correctly configured, but nothing seems to be helping.
Has anyone else encountered similar issues with Frigate and RTSP streams? I’m wondering if there’s a common mistake I might be overlooking or if there’s a specific configuration step that I’m missing. Any advice or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!
