I have two identical cameras with the exact same settings but one always seem to give me errors (already replaced it to rule out hardware).

It may happen occasionally and frigate should recover automatically. As long as it’s not happening often, it shouldn’t cause too many problems. You can also try disabling rtmp since that is less forgiving of errors in the stream.
This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.
