#Reolink Doorbell different configs and streams.

Questions:

  1. Any idea why the substream via FLV is clearly a higher resolution than via RTSP? You can even see the timestamp changing size. Not as good as the main, but clearly better than the sub.
  2. Any idea why adding the volume mod inline on the FLV main doorbell causes Frigate to go 100% CPU and crash repeatedly? Yet I'm using that same volume mod in the other 3 streams.
  3. For my learning, why do the FLV streams need ffmpeg even if I don't need opus? I've tried removing it and it also causes glitches and crashes.

Thanks!

The URLs I'm checking are these:

http://192.168.1.158:1984/stream.html?src=doorbell_rtsp&mode=webrtc
http://192.168.1.158:1984/stream.html?src=doorbell_sub_flv&mode=webrtc
http://192.168.1.158:1984/stream.html?src=doorbell_sub&mode=webrtc

  1. because you are using the EXT stream which is a "mid" stream vs the sub stream that rtsp supports
  2. because the built in go2rtc handling of http-flv is known to cause issues, and you need opus for webrtc anyway

  1. Hmm, but it is the recommended implementation for Reolink Doorbell. Shouldn't the FLV option be more stable?

It is when you use ffmpeg hence the recommendation to use it in the docs
