Describe the problem you are havingI have three of these cameras. They have been working ok-ish until a few days ago (not perfect thou, the detection is hit and miss and recording hasn't been working in a month). Now I notice that the ffmpeg crashes all the time!

looks like ffmpeg is not receiving data from the cameras, would be good to see go2rtc logs |

the go2rtc logs I get them from the web interface? if so I can post them later today. I have investigated more today and made some modification (will post later the new config file since I am not at home at the moment) to the config file. I notived that one of the cameras (the one called terasa) is streaming h265 and that is the only one that works at the moment. the rest are supposedly streaming at h264 but they are not working anymore. I will factory reset them and see if they will also start streaming at h265. Imou is such a bad product |

ok I am home now. Here is the new config: I got home, reset all the cameras to factory settings and now all the streams are h265 and with the above settings there are no more errors in the log. However, while events are detected (i.e. i appear as an event as I pass in front of the camera) I cannot review the footage.
Is there something I can do? This has been happening for some time but I thought it was connected to the ffmpeg errors. |

unfortunately, the errors are back. The new settings you suggested appear to be much stable and for a good hours or so yesterday, there were no errors in the logs. This morning I had a look and saw all this. Should I be worried? Or are these things that can be ignored. |

so these issues are coming from the cameras. the weird thing is that i have three identical ones and one appears to behave normally and i see no errors coming from it. i am thinking of replacing them with tapo cameras. in your experience are these more stable? |

Unfortunately we've often seen issues with Tapo cameras as well, though some users do report they work fine. |

rats. unfortunately i can't run cable where i have these cameras so i have to use wireless cameras. to your knowledge what brand is better at this? |

I moved away from wireless cameras long ago and watched all my issues disappear. I do have some friends and family who have Amcrest (rebranded Dahua) wireless cameras and don't have too many issues. |

so dahua are a good compromise? cool. i'll have a look at those! |

sorry but i can't close this yet. I am running frigate in portainer which is running in a proxmox lxc. with these new settings, the lxc will start consuming all the assigned ram and crash. Is there some method to make ffmpeg ignore the bad data that the cameras send sometimes? |

This is a known issue with certain versions of the proxmox kernel |

I read the threads you mentioned but I haven't done anything yet to change to a different kernel. I have instead I changed from recording to a nfs share to recording on a local ssd drive that is passed to the container. I had no crash since last night when I made this switch. There are however a lot of these errors: I have also dived a bit into the ffmpeg documentation and options to try to skip over some of the (what I think are) problematic frames in the stream. However I have some questions. Here are the relevant parts of the config (I am not posting the entire thing again): Please note the My next question comes from the In the cameras section for each camera I also have Since I don't know what I am doing, my feeling is the |
