Struggling trying to get Frigate running

Configuration
1

I have HA running in a Proxmox VM and I’m trying to setup Frigate for my one Amcrest IP8M-2496EW camera. I’ve installed MQTT, HACS and Frigate. Created frigate.yml file with the yaml code and made the changes to the file. I’m getting these errors in the log after starting:

[s6-init] making user provided files available at /var/run/s6/etc…exited 0.

I can access the camera IP address on my home network so I know it’s working. I don’t understand “extra fields not permitted” in the HA log.

Here’s the frigate.yml file:

mqtt:
  host: xxx.xxx.x.xx
  user: admin
  password: xxxxxxxxxx

cameras:
  driveway_cam:
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&authbasic=64
          roles: 
            - detect
    width: 1280
    height: 720
    fps: 10
    
detectors: 
  cpu1:
    type: cpu
  cpu2:
    type: cpu

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

width, height, and fps go under detect in the camera configuration

cameras:
  driveway_cam:
    ffmpeg:
...
    detect:
      width: 1280
      height: 720
      fps: 10

Cool, I think I got it. I should say, you got it.

Many thanks.
