frigate: [Support]: Beta7 fails on startup due to ffmpeg errors

Upgraded from beta4 to beta7. Startup fails since ffmpeg fails. Cameras cannot read frames from ffmpeg process.

I checked my config for any refs to stimeout as noted in the release notes - I dont have any

LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME_JELLYFIN=i965

I have not. In docker-compose?

Yes right under the FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD

in RC1 my ffmpeg is broken, while without changes it was running in beta5 perfectly. (edit: unchanged config is running fine also in beta7, but massive ffmpeg-errors in rc1. seems totally broken)

now i am trying lots of things and got unsure about the syntax to use the environment-var for yellyfin in the docker-compose. the new docs have also no example. what i found is two versions, which one is the correct one?

(edit: some post mentioned to “rebuild” the image after setting the VAR. maybe some hints on this too?)

environment:
    LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME_JELLYFIN: "i965"
    FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD: "hidden"
environment:
    - 'FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD=hidden'
    - 'LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME_JELLYFIN=i965'

thanks for your time…

[EDIT: now running RC1. changed logleve for ffmpeg from panic to warning and saw, that -stimeout had to be changed to -timeout. after that global change my green images for all cams were gone and all running normaly. with log-level panic the log was too fast and short to see anything. also disabled that enviroment-var again, and RC1 still running. thanks]
