[Support]: Connecting a subStream via Neolink to Frigate
See original GitHub issueDescribe the problem you are having
I’m currently trying to connect my RTSP sub stream that is generated via Neolink from the Reolink Argus 3 Pro camera to Frigate. Currently running the most up to date Home Assistant on a Oracle VM VirtualBox.
I keep getting the error that it is “Unable to read frames from ffmpeg process.”

Since Reolink does not provide native RTSP… used Neolink to setup a RTSP. I’m able to view the stream on VLC and got the codec info from there and input that into the code.

You’ll most likely find better help than I can give in a virtual box forum or subreddit asking more generally “how to let VM access services running on host device”. That or Blake may be able to help further.
