Have you ruled out Firefox by trying another browser? |

Sorry I should have clarified that, yea it works perfectly in Chrome... |

Also I can watch the stream perfectly using the go2rtc web interface from Firefox: |

What streaming technology type does go2rtc show it's using when you watch it from there? |

It shows as RTC |

Frigate's Live view prioritizes MSE first (as it's the most supported and widely compatible). If the MSE stream can't be loaded, it then tries WebRTC (if set up in your Frigate config). If that fails, it finally falls back to jsmpeg. It still seems like there's something with the camera's codec that Firefox doesn't like, since the go2rtc web interface also tries MSE first. If you still wanted to use Firefox without any other changes to your camera, you could configure WebRTC in Frigate. |

To be fair I have 3 types brands of cameras set up in go2rtc and when I view them all using go2rtc they all use RTC to stream after first attempting MSE - just the Dahua is causing me problems. |

Right, so as I said if you set up WebRTC in your Frigate config, Frigate will use that in Firefox without any camera changes. |

I'm just a little confused as to how the rest of the cameras are all working with Frigate when they are using the same mode. I did try this already and it hasnt made any improvement, but Im not 100% sure if I've done this correctly... |

Firefox could also be failing on the audio codec, but if it's working fine on Chrome, it seems more likely there's something still odd with the video codec. If you open Firefox's devtools and examine the websocket's response when you open Live view, that will give us more information. Open your browser dev tools to the Network pane, select the WS option to only view websockets, and look for a You should see video data coming through the socket on Chrome, but this will probably only show a few lines on Firefox. It'd be helpful to see a screenshot of the first few entries of this pane, just as you start streaming a single camera. |

Spotted something intesting, I'm using an nginx reverse proxy, if I access the WebUI directly using the port, I get a proper video feed in firefox (although it takes at least 10 seconds to initiate it seems ffmpeg is transcoding it which isn't ideal etiher) Firefox Chrome |

Ah, the reverse proxy is why. You need to enable websockets through the proxy. See the docs: https://docs.frigate.video/guides/reverse_proxy/#setup-reverse-proxy-settings |

Describe the problem you are having
I've just bought a Dahua C5A camera from Ali Express, its a H.265 camera but I have changed it to H.264 using the Config Tool.
My issue is that when I try to use live view or feeds using Firefox, its seems to revert to the basic jpeg view that that you get when not using go2rtc. As Firefox doesnt support H.265 I assume this could be the issue although the go2rtc seems to be getting the correct stream and even the exports appear to be in H.264.
