[Support]: One of two cameras stopped recording a few days ago

See original GitHub issue

Describe the problem you are having

I have two cameras - a Reolink RLC410W and an Amcrest AD110 doorbell. Until a few days ago both cameras were recording clips whenever motion was detected. I’m not entirely sure when, but a few days ago frigate stopped recording clips for the doorbell. It still collects them for the Reolink. I can see live view of both cameras, but just the Amcrest doesn’t record clips. The recording option appears enabled on the UI.

Navigating to recordings for the Amcrest, I just get this:

No Recordings Found

Make sure you have enabled the record role in your configuration for the main_door camera.

FFprobe output from your camera

Not sure what this is

Frigate stats

No response

Operating system

HassOS

Install method

HassOS Addon

Coral version

USB

Network connection

Wireless

Camera make and model

Amcrest AD110

Any other information that may be helpful

I checked these two issues: https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/issues/2129 https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/issues/3008

#2129 doesn’t appear to be my issue, because the recording function is enabled in the debug JSON and on the UI. #3008 looks like my issue, but I’m not sure what the resolution for that was… it appeared to just start working after a while?

image This seems to show detection fps for the amcrest at 0. Maybe that’s the problem?

I’m wondering if the “resource” it is referring to is actually the GPU where you have configured hardware acceleration. Does it work without the hwaccel_args?
