Clips not available - help needed since I am fresh out of ideas #608
-
|
First off: Thanks for all effort and a really cool project ! I love it ! Have it integrated to HASS and running some flows in Node-red to send snapshots to Telegram. I have read almost all forums, docs and bug reports but still can not get clips to work...most likely something really basic but I have lost any ability to come up with something to check. I am fresh out of ideas and welcome any suggestions that could get me moving towards a solution. I suspect I have something wrong with my ffmpeg setup but I really don't know anyting about ffmpeg and how it works to start to understand what alternatives I have. Running on RPI4 (without Coral) - /clips on local SD card (no SMB or NFS). Running 32 bit standard Raspberry PI OS. Docker compose and portainer manages my docker. The little box runs mosquitto and frigate (and portainer). HASS and Node Red on another box. 192.168.1.100 - box running HASS config: detectors:

- personMy compose looks like this The folder for "clips" has the right permissions (and as seen, snapshots are created in it): Logfiles (nginx) - several errors related to the detection event And finally a snapshot of the docker-log - some errors due to unstable streams from back camera..but the last one seems to be the cause...

Can you switch your cameras to h264 instead of h265? That format is not compatible with rtmp. If not, you will need to remove the rtmp role. |

Read up on h.265 and it seems it is a dead end. Will buy new cameras with h.264 instead. |
