[Camera Support]: Green Backyard wired POE camera not working

[SchoolGuy]

Describe the problem you are having

While VLC is playing the stream just fine, frigate keeps insisting that FFmpeg is crashing. ffprobe works just fine when using the arg -rtsp_transport tcp, without it the command never finishes.

Edit: The camera that has problems is garten_vogel

Camera make and model

Green Backyard "Vogelhaus Kamera HD Bündel Netzwerkkabel Verbindung"

Any other information that may be helpful

The install method is the Helm chart and not the HassOS Addon.

The camera itself has no clear marking on it what model and make they are. As I suspect that the company making them doesn't build the cameras themselves.

VLC reports this for the stream:

Need to see more logs, this does not provide any info

[SchoolGuy]

@NickM-27 That is not the problem I was asking about. The domain doesn't resolve because my router doesn't keep the domains for devices that are offline. Thank you for the suggestion though. My issue is with vogel-kamera.home.lan/192.168.178.39/garten_vogel.

Edit: I now see that I didn't specify in the initial comment the camera that was affected. Sorry for that. I hope this comment clears that up.

[NickM-27]

Ah, your problem is hwaccel but your gpu isn't available [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x564f80c03180] No VA display found for device /dev/dri/renderD128

[SchoolGuy]

Okay so if I remove hwaccel it should work?

Edit: I am running an Intel Atom CPU on a Supermicro Board. To my information, the CPU doesn't support hardware acceleration inside k8s.

[NickM-27]

That would be the first thing to try

[SchoolGuy]

@NickM-27 Thanks a lot. That did the trick. I sure hope that I won't make such a stupid mistake again.
