[Support]: Chrome Version 146.0.7680.178 not displaying feeds

[par-texx]

Checklist

• I have updated to the latest available Frigate version.
• I have cleared the cache of my browser.
• I have tried a different browser to see if it is related to my browser.
• I have tried reproducing the issue in incognito mode to rule out problems with any third party extensions or plugins I have installed.
• I have asked the AI at https://docs.frigate.video about my issue.

Describe the problem you are having

When I updated to chrome version 146.0.7680.178 I lost the ability to view video feeds in my browser.

Live feed just sits there with a spinning circle. If I go to review video, I get an error: Failed to play recordings (error 4): PipelineStatus::DECODER_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED: video decoder initialization failed with DecoderStatus::Codes::kUnsupportedConfig

When I swap to Safari it works perfectly.

Steps to reproduce

1. Upgrade Chrome to the latest version

...

Version

0.17.1-416a9b7

In which browser(s) are you experiencing the issue with?

Google Chrome 146.0.7680.178

The error DECODER_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED: video decoder initialization failed with DecoderStatus::Codes::kUnsupportedConfig indicates Chrome is unable to decode the video stream. Since Safari works fine, this is a browser-specific codec compatibility issue.

Your go2rtc streams are configured to use H.264 video, which should be compatible with Chrome. However, the MSE player in Chrome can be sensitive to specific stream characteristics. (1)

Here are some things to try:

1. Add opus audio transcoding for WebRTC fallback

Your current config only adds AAC audio. Adding opus support allows Frigate to fall back to WebRTC if MSE fails: (1)

go2rtc:
  streams:
    reolink_garage:
      - rtsp://reolink:<password>@192.168.3.58:554/h264Preview_01_main
      - "ffmpeg:reolink_garage#audio=opus"
    reolink_driveway:
      - rtsp://reolink:<password>@192.168.3.42:554/h264Preview_01_main
      - "ffmpeg:reolink_driveway#audio=opus"

(1)

2. Check camera I-frame interval settings

Set your camera's I-frame interval (keyframe interval/GOP length) to match your camera's frame rate, or choose "1x" on Reolink cameras. Values higher than the frame rate can cause playback issues. (1)

3. Verify video codec in go2rtc web interface

Access go2rtc's web interface at port 1984 and click "stream" for your camera to verify the stream is being received correctly and check the negotiated codecs. (2)

4. Try transcoding video to H.264

If the stream format is causing issues, you can re-encode the video: (2)

go2rtc:
  streams:
    reolink_garage:
      - rtsp://reolink:<password>@192.168.3.58:554/h264Preview_01_main
      - "ffmpeg:reolink_garage#video=h264#hardware"

(2)

Note that transcoding is resource intensive. (2)

5. Check browser console logs

Open Chrome's Developer Tools (F12 > Console tab) while loading the Live view to see detailed error messages about codec negotiation or playback failures. (1)

Since this appeared after a Chrome update, it may be a regression in Chrome's video decoder. You could also try rolling back Chrome or using a different Chromium-based browser to confirm.
