Help with Frigate

Can anyone please help me get Frigate up and running. I’m so frustrated. I’ve spent days trying everything I can, I can’t even get the thing to see my video. I’m streaming the RTSP fine (I think?) because when I click on the stream, it gives me a beautiful video, but it keeps saying can’t run the ffmpeg process. I have an Amcrest, I’ve turned off every motion/audio detection (in the camera settings) that I can find. Here’s the logs and config:

You have 127.0.0.0.1 which is wrong, it should be 127.0.0.1
