[Camera Support]: Dahua Video Doorbell with ffmpeg errors when used through Go2rtc

[chrasim]

Describe the problem you are having

I have a Dahua Doorbell . When I use it directly with the rtsp stream (deactivated input in the config below), it works without any errors. But when I use it though Go2RTC, there are lots of ffmpeg errors and crashes. The camera still works though, and there are no errors in the Go2RTC logs. What could be the problem? This seems to have started with frigate 0.14, I'm pretty sure that I had it running with Go2rtc in 0.13 and there were no errors.

I'd suggest trying to use "ffmpeg:rtsp://" in the go2rtc config
