Intel NUC

Describe the bug No matter what I try to change, I can’t get rid of two errors: ffmpeg sent a broken frame. memoryview assignment: lvalue and rvalue have different structures and ffmpeg process is not running. exiting capture thread...

Tried 4 different cameras (Ubiqiti NVR, a cheap generic Foscam IP camera, a door video system with RTSP stream and this one in config is from octoprint from my Raspberry PI on my 3D printer. VLC plays all streams with no problems, Frigate won’t show even one. All show the same errors. I’ve double checked width, height and fps settings.

Version of frigate Current version: 1.13 (pasted from HA supervisor)

FFprobe from your camera

Run the following command and paste output below

Don't have a Linux machine where I could run this :(

Additional context I’m running HA on Intel® NUC Kit NUC7i3BNH with 8 GB of RAM. I’ve set 512 MB RAM to video memory in BIOS, nothing changed (was 128 before). I tried searching here and on Google for this error combo, couldn’t find the same error combination. I tried without hwaccel_args, no difference. If it helps, VLC shows this as Codec info:

Codec: Motion JPEG Video (MJPG)
Video resolution: 640x480
Decoded format: Planar 4:2:2 YUV full scale
Color space: ITU-R BT.601 Range

I also tried disabling Protection mode in HA for this addon, same result.

My understanding is that the hwaccel was for the transcoding of mjpeg to h264. Is this not correct?

That is incorrect. Hwaccel is using the GPU to accelerate decoding the stream into individual frames as they are used for frigate motion and object detection (among other things).

Also read Blake’s reply above:

Mjpeg streams need special parameters. Search the docs. Also, hwaccel args will not work with mjpeg feeds.

@NickM-27 Ah thanks. My mistake.
