frigate: New Cameras Hi Sharp: Unable to read frames from ffmpeg process

Describe the problem you are having

Hi, I m working for one of my clients. I have never worked on frigate before. So take me as a beginner.

What to do I have implemented the two cameras before. We are just restreaming it only, no detection kind of work. It was working fine for old cameras (analog). Now client purchase two more cameras (Hi Sharp). Now when I try to restream them and check on frigate UI, it doesn’t work. And it shows this error “unable to read frames from ffmpeg process. ffmpeg process is not running. exiting capture thread… Ffmpeg process crashed unexpectedly” in logs.

I have read many different issue and article and try to implement them but no improvement. So kindly help me on this.

Cameras Specs 1- https://drive.google.com/file/d/12n2-c5dhfiqSf_xuY3dg8-1g8cKUbBnb/view 2- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QcLl1aa0F--X4UyHqo9gn3QYQmIMNCaJ/view

Both are wired and audio enable

One Important Points 1- When I enable both non functional cameras, sometime one of them start working and other isn’t. But if I use single camera in config, they were work. 2- They are working fine on VLC

Thanks in Advanced
