Frigate - camera URL confusion

Configuration
1

Edit: this problem seems to be related to the use of SMB share for clips. Using a local drive solves this issue.

Hi,
I have a camera with the following RTSP stream and substream URL. I can use this URL in VLC to view the camera:

rtsp://user:[email protected]:554/live
rtsp:///user:[email protected]:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1

But when I put it into the camera config of the yml file, I’m not getting any camera feed.

My frigate.yml looks like this. I’ve tried both the main stream and the substream, but I’m unable to get any camera to work.

cameras:
  # Name of your camera
  driveway:
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://user:[email protected]:554/live
          roles:
            - detect
            - rtmp
    width: 2688
    height: 1520
    fps: 5

Wondering if someone can share their config? I’m confused why the example config has the word “viewer” stuck int he RTSP stream, so I’ve also tried this:

- path: rtsp://viewer:user:[email protected]:554/live

Nothing in logs jump out at me:

Are you sure the width, height and fps are correct with respect to the stream?

Yes, I believe the dimensions and fps are correct. I’ve verified with the camera settings page:
