Not working with go2rtc

[QuantumEntangledAndy]

Sorry I'm having trouble understanding what you are doing in that other thread. Not familiar with the workings of go2rtc or frigate.

Where is neolink in this setup and how are you connecting to it and what error do you get?

Reolink B800 > Your fork of Neolink. (Had to change the port to 8551 as go2rtc uses 8554 as well) > go2rtc > frigate

The problem is that the go2rtc part is not working. If i skip it out - it works. Go2rtc is like a video proxy allowing to convert for example the H265 stream to H264. Not good at video on linux - but can it be some kind of a conflict between Neolink and go2rtc? Although both run in docker containers.

Have also posted on go2rtc site. It's just strange that non Neolink cameras work without a hitch. So the problem is somewhere in between and i would appreciate if you could help with you knowledge

Perhaps you can give me some more clear error messages/logs. It's hard to trace an issue without them.

Your using docker so i hope your aware of the extra work required to get a connection. Each container has its own ip and you need to know the IP address of the container for a connection. (If your using compose you can use the link parameter to give them names instead of IPs)

For neolink the two variables that control logging are

RUST_LOG="debug"

And

GST_DEBUG=3

The former is our log and the later is gstreamer log

Yes. So to make things work i just expose the necessary ports. That is why had to change the Neolink port as it was the same as go2rtc (8554) which is a weird similarity to me and that is why i opened an issue here as well as you understand the internal workings of Neolink and have the knowledge. Will do some debug logging as currently no errors are logged neither in go2rtc or Neolink side which is just strange

8554 is the standard rtsp port. So anything the provides rtsp will probably have it for the default.

Could you provide the following:

1. The neolink config
2. The config for frigate that shows the neolink rtsp url it is connecting to

[QuantumEntangledAndy]

Ok so I've added some things to improve the connection on VLC and frigate I hope it helps you. Could you test the latest build?

Also do you actually need go2rtc to convert the video? If you have a specific reason I might try and work up some conversion into neolink itself

Just thought I'd share the test docker and frigate setup I use

docker-compose.yml

Closing as I think this is all working in latest but please let me know if not
