[Support]: Getting Your config file is not valid! error

Describe the problem you are having

Hi all,

I’m new to HA and frigate, so apologies for the newbie questions.

Ive got MQTT running already for sometime and when I’m trying to run frigate, I’m getting an error that my config is not valid

I’ve posted my frigate.yml below as well as the error from log

Not too sure where I’ve gone wrong here. I’ve got a XVR that’s RSTP capable running on port 554.

Cheers

Thanks. seems like I have H.264H and H.264. Any particular one better than the other?

seems like H might stands for High? which I presume better?

and lastly - forgot to say thank you @NickM-27. You’re a star…finally got to the point that I can start playing around with 👍

H.264H is “higher” quality but can have issues as it enables more features. I’d try that first and if frigate doesn’t complain then no big deal.
