Problems with Cheap IP cam C6F0SgZ3N0P6L2

[jimmyeao]

Have been tearing my hair out trying to get this to work.
It has both rtsp and static jpeg outputs, have tried changing rtsp from tcp to udp in the config to no avail.
Current config:

  alley:
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://admin:mypassword@192.168.0.54/11
          roles:
            - record
            - rtmp
        - path: rtsp://admin:mypassword@192.168.0.54/11
          roles:
            - detect
    detect:
      width: 1280
      height: 720
      fps: 7
    objects:
      track:
         - person
         - cat
         - dog
         - bird
         - bicycle
         - horse

Errors:

Can open the stream in VLC and identifies as h264:

This is a wifi camera but has a solid connection
Im running frigate on a pi4 with a coral tpu, OS is buster 32bit

If this is an RPi 32 bit then check out #4008 (comment)

Implementing that fix gives me a different bunch of errors:

Try disabling RTMP
