[Camera Support]: WallPanel MJPEG Camera Stream to Frigate

[oneseventhree]

Describe the problem you are having

Hi,

I have the app WallPanel that shows my stream on:
http://192.168.1.98:2971/camera/stream

When I open that link in my browser it works great. There is no passwords etc.

I can't get the stream to work on Frigate using the information in GitHub.

Am I missing something?

You should not be putting brackets around the stream url in your go2rtc config.

KitchenCamera: "ffmpeg:http://192.168.1.98:2971/camera/stream#video=h264#hardware"

Hello everyone,
I'm in the same situation (stream is viewable through e.g. VLC and I receive the exact same error messages - running home assistant on a RasPi 4) and found this thread, after which I also made the change of deleting the brackets.
But in my case it didn't solve the issue.
I can see that RTSP restream works bc I can restream a tapo Camera. Just the http stream is always shown as offline.
Sadly, I also am not able to access the Webrtc UI (I guess it's the firewall of my router, which I cannot change due to it being a Speedport..)
You don't by instance also have an idea in this case, do you?
