[Config Support]: Newbie with H265 IP camera

[foncubierta]

Describe the problem you are having

I'm trying to use frigate but I can't...

I have frigate 0.14 with docker.

If I try this address in VLC player it works perfectly:

rtsp://admin:password@192.168.1.48:554/H264/ch1/main/av_stream

It also tells me that the video is h265

My intention is to use frigate nvr to record and incidentally use object detection. I have a ryzen 9 I don't think I will have problems due to the cpu.

The error i get is:

[2024-09-09 20:16:28] frigate.videoERROR : entrada: Unable to read frames from ffmpeg process.

if you have a ryzen 9 then preset-rk-h265 is not at all appropriate for hwaccel args

[foncubierta]

Sorry, I'm a total newbie with Frigate, what argument do you recommend? Although I can't get the video to load yet...

[NickM-27]

start with nothing and see what the logs say

[foncubierta]

I just managed to get the video working :D
