[HW Accel Support]: Green Screen, Unable to read frames from ffmpeg process.
See original GitHub issueDescribe the problem you are having
Hi,
Feels like I’ve been trying everything, but hopefully I missed something.
Enabling hwaccel gives green screen. Video feed always works through VLC.
No matter if running addon as full access with no protection mode, or as normal version. Even tried increasing video memory even though system is RPi 4B 64 bit. Power is not reported to be an issue.
