Live view streams sometimes changes to low resolution

[umtsti]

Hello, Im using frigate for a while and really love it. But for live view, some cameras sometimes changes to low resolution stream even thouhg there are movements and detectes which low resolution streams used for object detection. Their name and with _sub naming in config file. But I have configure live view as main stream which has higher resolution. You can see my screenshot and config file. What is wrong with my config can you help me ?

There is 2 low resoulution camera in this screenshow. upper middle one's name is catalErgunTarafi, the lower one on the middle called bademliKasa in my config file. You can see my config file at the attachemets. Can you help me ?

Frigate intelligently selects the live streaming technology based on a number of factors (user-selected modes like two-way talk, camera settings, browser capabilities, available bandwidth) and prioritizes showing an actual up-to-date live view of your camera's stream as quickly as possible.

When you have go2rtc configured, Live view initially attempts to load and play back your stream with a clearer, fluent stream technology (MSE). An initial timeout, a low bandwidth condition that would cause buffering of the stream, or decoding errors in the stream will cause Frigate to switch to the stream defined by the detect role, using the jsmpeg format.

So what you are seeing is expected behavior.

In Frigate 0.16 (currently in beta), this behavior is slightly changed and there are easier mechanisms to try to switch back to the more fluent, clearer live view.

Okay thank you for your information.

@hawkeye217 Im in the 0.16 beta, and it seems after timeout (Im assuming timeout since Im not seeing any errors in the log), it switches to low-bandwidth mode. How do I manually switch back to fluent (other than refreshing the browser window)? When Im watching my dogs in the backyard, I want the two cameras back there always fluent. I've set the streaming settings to continuous, but it seems to always fall back to low-bandwidth. If it's not possible yet, it would be great to have per camera settings, like continuous streaming, for "always fluent mode"

Also, are the recommended settings for Live View still applicable (mainly only using h264, webrtc doesn't support h265)? Does this apply to both the dashboard of multiple cameras or just when you click into the camera? I would love the space savings of h265 but want the best live view experience.

See the beta documentation: https://deploy-preview-16390--frigate-docs.netlify.app/configuration/live/

I've added a FAQ section at the bottom of that page for this release that should answer your questions.

So if I'm reading this right if I disable go2rtc it won't do this anymore?

[hawkeye217]

Disabling go2rtc will cause Frigate's live view to be 5fps, low resolution (detect stream), and without audio.
