Describe the problem you are having

I have two cameras the camera named IPCAM refuses to load the live view it just hangs recording and play play work fine, also camera named FrontDoor the live view works however it switches between 16:9 ratio and 4:3 only when viewing the live stream recording is fine.

System:-
Dell R710 with 94 gigabytes of ECC ram and a intel arc A310 running Truenas scale 25.04.2.6

Can anyone see anything obvious in my config file i am missing?

kind Regards Nitro

The AI is partially correct here. I would suggest following the troubleshooting documentation and trying the ffmpeg module with go2rtc, eg:

go2rtc:
  streams:
    ...
    IPCAM: 
      - ffmpeg:rtsp://admin:{FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD2}@10.167.22.241:554/11
    IPCAM_sub:
      - ffmpeg:rtsp://admin:{FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD2}@10.167.22.241:554/12

If that doesn't work, I'd try transcoding:

go2rtc:
  streams:
    ...
    IPCAM: 
      - ffmpeg:rtsp://admin:{FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD2}@10.167.22.241:554/11#video=h264#audio=aac#hardware
    IPCAM_sub:
      - ffmpeg:rtsp://admin:{FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD2}@10.167.22.241:554/12#video=h264#audio=aac#hardware

I can see a few issues in your configuration that are likely causing the live view problems:

IPCAM Live View Not Loading

Your IPCAM camera is configured to use the go2rtc restream for detection and recording, but the FrontDoor go2rtc stream is not being used as the source for the camera's ffmpeg inputs. (1)

For the IPCAM camera, you have correctly configured the live.streams section, but your go2rtc streams may need audio transcoding for WebRTC/MSE compatibility. (1)

Add opus audio transcoding to your go2rtc streams: (1), (2)

go2rtc:
  streams:
    IPCAM: 
      - rtsp://admin:{FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD2}@10.167.22.241:554/11
      - "ffmpeg:IPCAM#audio=opus"
    IPCAM_sub:
      - rtsp://admin:{FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD2}@10.167.22.241:554/12
      - "ffmpeg:IPCAM_sub#audio=opus"

(1), (2)

FrontDoor Aspect Ratio Switching

For FrontDoor, you're not routing the camera through go2rtc for ffmpeg inputs. Your ffmpeg inputs connect directly to the camera instead of the restream. This can cause inconsistent behavior. (2)

Update your FrontDoor camera to use the go2rtc restream: (2)

cameras:
  FrontDoor:
    enabled: true
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/FrontDoor
          input_args: preset-rtsp-restream
          roles:
            - record
            - detect

(2)

And add audio transcoding to the go2rtc stream: (1)

go2rtc:
  streams:
    FrontDoor: 
      - rtsp://10.167.22.240:554/user=admin&password={FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD}&channel=1&stream=1.sdp
      - "ffmpeg:FrontDoor#audio=opus"

(1)

Camera Settings Recommendations

For best live view performance, configure your cameras with: (1)

Video codec: H.264 (avoid smart codecs like H.264+)
Audio codec: AAC
I-frame interval: match your camera's frame rate (or set to "1x")

WebRTC Candidates

Since you have webrtc.listen configured, you may also need to add candidates for internal access: (1)

go2rtc:
  webrtc:
    listen: :8555
    candidates:
      - 10.167.22.110:8555
      - stun:8555

(1)

Replace 10.167.22.110 with your Frigate server's IP address. (1)
