Describe the problem you are having

As per title, the individual camera feed on the main frigate UI page in 0.14 is often blank. This wasn't a problem on 0.13.
Initially when I load the page they all appear, then some quickly start disappearing and go blank. The ones that don't go blank stay permanently, or at least a lot longer. The others don't come back.

Firefox (v130.0) and Floop (Firefox fork)

On Chrome this is not an issue:

GIF of issue occurring:

Am not sure if it's a Frigate issue or Firefox, but would be good to get it fixed or know how to fix it.

Version

0.14.1-f4f3cfa

What browser(s) are you using?

Firefox v130.0, Floorp (preferred) v11.17.8

Okay. It's what I thought.

Firefox doesn't support H.265 (see https://github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc/#codecs-madness). So you'll either need to change to H.264 in your camera's firmware, use go2rtc to transcode (you can change the line I gave you to add #video=h264#audio=aac#hardware on the end), or use a browser that supports H.265.

Didn't help. Also when I click into the entrance_right camera to view it it's just a blank page, the video feed doesn't appear. Edit - actually it does load, can just take a few seconds.

If it helps, here's my Frigate log after reboot, it seems to have some issues with entrance_left for some reason (shows 'no frames received' error for a while - after the others have loaded), but the feed eventually the entrance_left loads on the main ui (even if it then blanks out). Not sure if that is related to the issue at all.

Okay, try changing it to this then:

go2rtc:
  streams:
    ...
    Entrance_Right:
      - ffmpeg:rtsp://username:[email protected]:554/Streaming/Channels/1#video=h264

OK thank you for your help.
I've added #video=h264#audio=aac#hardware to the end of the camera feeds.

Great. Happy to help!

Firefox recently added support for HEVC. You can enable it by going to "about:config" and changing "media.wmf.hevc.enabled" to 1.

Also, to rule out any issues with any browser plugins/extensions, can you test in incognito mode?

Same issue when in incognito mode

I upgraded to 0.14.1 two days ago and I see this quite a lot in the motion review page.
When I scroll back in time about 1-2 hours the camera areas just become black.

When I click on one of the 3 cameras it shows the video just fine.
Using incognito mode or Firefox instead of Chrome doesn't change anything.

CPU utilization shows 2%.
I run Frigate in a Proxmox VM with virtio-gpu and no other hardware acceleration and no go2rtc.
