[Support]: Previously playable clips/recording is later unplayable, forever loading

[Lecso11]

Describe the problem you are having

I have 2 cameras, the second one (udvar) I installed a few days ago. The issue is with this camera, that its recordings are randomly unplayable in the Frigate UI, even clips and recordings I have watched before. I wanted to watch them again after around 30 minutes and they wont load. The issue is only present with the udvar kamera.

Based on your logs and configuration, there are several issues that could be causing your playback problems with the "udvar" camera:

Key Issues Identified

1. Excessive Bandwidth Warning
Your logs show: udvar has a bandwidth of 18646.92 MB/hr which exceeds the expected maximum. This indicates the recording stream is using an extremely high bitrate, which can cause playback issues.(1)

2. go2rtc Connection Errors
Your go2rtc logs repeatedly show error="wrong response on DESCRIBE" for the udvar camera's main stream, suggesting connectivity problems with the camera's RTSP stream.(2)

3. Missing Recording Output Args
Your "udvar" camera configuration lacks explicit output_args for recording, while your "elokert" camera has preset-record-generic-audio-copy.(3)

Recommended Solutions

Configure proper recording output args for udvar:

cameras:
  udvar:
    ffmpeg:
      output_args:
        record: preset-record-generic-audio-copy
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://192.168.2.121:8554/udvar
          input_args: preset-rtsp-restream
          roles:
            - record

(3)

Reduce camera bitrate at the source:
Your Dahua camera is outputting at 2592x1944 resolution for the main stream. Lower the bitrate in your camera's settings to reduce the bandwidth from 18646 MB/hr to something more reasonable (typically 2000-4000 MB/hr for recording).(1)

Verify RTSP connectivity:
The go2rtc errors suggest the camera may have connection issues. Test direct RTSP access to rtsp://admin:*@192.168.2.101:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0 using VLC or another player to verify the stream is stable.(2)(4)

Consider using HTTP-FLV instead:
Since you're using Dahua cameras, you might have better stability with HTTP streams rather than RTSP restreaming through go2rtc.(2)

The combination of excessive bandwidth and go2rtc connection errors is likely causing the recording segments to be corrupted or incomplete, which would explain why previously playable recordings become unplayable.
