Reolink RL-410W has a green screen

Reolink RL-410W now has a green screen showing in Frigate NVR. I have not changed anything in yml file, however, I have done an Home Assistant core update recently. The green screen appears after that. I use Raspberry pi 4b, with home assistant.

Could you please help? Many thanks Kate

Check out the below. Try removing all of those extra input_args. Also try adding the global_args below to your config. I had some luck with these since it seems that the reolink cameras sometimes take a while to start streaming rtmp. Also make sure the firmware on your cameras is up to date. Finally are you sure your “height” is set right at 352? I don’t think this is a valid option for the reolink substream. As Blake mentioned though, probably none of this matters until you get frigate to connect to the camera. Can you ping the camera from the frigate machine? This will work…its something about your configuration that is breaking it.

ffmpeg: input_args: - -avoid_negative_ts - make_zero
