Live JPEG Stream Cameras

[Wasted-Engineer]

Hello,

I had some problems configuring my old jpeg camera. Reading the docs:
https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/camera_specific/#jpeg-stream-cameras

But it looks like that jpeg preset is using 'image2' demuxer, adding a '-loop' before the input, and seems like '-loop' is not working before the input anymore in ffmpeg.

So, at least in my case, I had to use 'preset-http-mjpeg-generic', and also, the docs say:
go2rtc:
streams:
mjpeg_cam: "ffmpeg:{your_mjpeg_stream_url}#video=h264#hardware" # <- use hardware acceleration to create an h264 stream usable for other components.

The above did not work for me, I had to do it like this:
go2rtc:
streams:
jpeg_cam:
- {your_jpeg_stream_url}
- ffmpeg: jpeg_cam#video=h264#hardware" # <- use hardware acceleration to create an h264 stream usable for other components.

There are still many EOF warnings in go2rtc, but it works fairly fine. I tried to control the frame rate, with some success, but am still having one EOF each 10 minutes, more or less. if you want to try, you can use the #raw tag:
jpeg_cam#raw=-r 5 -b:v 1200k -maxrate 1500k -bufsize 2000k#video=h264#hardware

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards
