Looking at your configuration and the logs showing "Non-monotonic DTS" errors, the issue is related to timestamp problems in your video streams. The logs show FFmpeg is constantly correcting timestamps, which causes the stuttering you're experiencing. Here are several configuration changes to address this issue: 1. Update FFmpeg Input ArgumentsYour current ffmpeg:
hwaccel_args: preset-vaapi
input_args: preset-rtsp-generic
output_args:
record: preset-record-generic-audio-aac2. Configure go2rtc Streams ProperlyFor Tapo cameras, you should use the ffmpeg module in go2rtc to handle the stream processing (2). Update your go2rtc configuration: go2rtc:

- ffmpeg:rtsp://administrator:[email protected]:554/stream1The "Non-monotonic DTS" errors in your logs indicate timestamp issues that are common with some camera streams. Using go2rtc's ffmpeg module with proper parameters should resolve the stuttering by handling the timestamp corrections at the go2rtc level rather than during Frigate's processing (2). 📚 Sources: Have another question?

The AI's response is correct here. You should provide the ffmpeg stream first before the one with the |

Ive removed the tapo protocol completely just to make sure the RTSP is working normally. the tapo:// stream wont help this current issue will it? EDIT: I tried used my original config and swapped FFMEPG above tapo, still same issue. |

As to why they seem fine in VLC, see the docs. |

See this note about wifi cameras and why we don't recommend them: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/multiple-cameras-high-bandwidth.77100/#post-861110 You can map the go2rtc dashboard port (1984) in your Docker line and then access it directly. I suspect you'll see the same stuttering. Does it change anything if you temporarily disable all of the cameras except one of them? |

Describe the problem you are having
All live streams and recordings in Frigate have noticeable jitter/stutter, but the same RTSP streams play perfectly smooth in VLC. This affects both local access (http://192.168.50.109:5000) and remote access through Cloudflared NPM.

All Tapo C310 running on Wifi
What Works
✅ VLC playback via : rtsp://administrator:[email protected]:554/stream1 on tailscale and remote location is perfectly smooth
✅Both direct LAN and Cloudflare proxy show same jitter
✅ Recordings are being created successfully - still has the jitter though
✅ Hardware acceleration has been tested and works but did not achieve any differences other than slightly less CPU load
Ive tested many configurations with Claude but still no help.
