Recordings daytime/nighttime FPS difference

[JA16122000]

Hi!

Just upgraded my V3 to the V3 PRO, but now i've got problems with both of my cams.

Night-time
Recordings will play in night-time faster (2 seconds, will play fastforward in 1 second)
When i restart the container, it is working fine, till the morning starts.

Day-time
Recordings will play slower in day-time (1 second will play slower in 2 seconds)
When i restart the container, it is working fine, till the night starts ....

And so on, and on and on

FPS_FIX=true don't make any difference.

What do i miss?

Allready tried:

FPS_FIX=True
In the wyze-app turn off "night vision mode" so it will not change

Any suggestions what i am missing?

It is only one off the two camera's thats having this problem.
When i recreate the container, it is working fine, till the evening or morning starts.

Hey @JA16122000, I added a couple of commands to adjust the FPS. Could you see if any of these help when the night FPS drops?

docker-wyze-bridge/app/wyzebridge/wyze_control.py

Lines 50 to 53 in 0273264

	"set_fps_5": ("K10052SetFPS", 5),
	"set_fps_10": ("K10052SetFPS", 10),
	"set_fps_15": ("K10052SetFPS", 15),
	"set_fps_20": ("K10052SetFPS", 20),

I will try @mrlt8!

Will this commands, work automatic?
Or do i have, to give this command by hand?

[mrlt8]

You'd have to manually send the commands for now. If it works, then we could potentially try to automate the commands if the fps starts to drift.

How do i do that in portainer?

I did: set_fps_20
in the console, and it seems working!

Wel, i've tried:
http://ip:5000/api/achtertuin/set_fps_20 and get a confirmation respons.
But the recordings are still twice as slow.

Also tried
http://ip:5000/api/achtertuin/set_fps_10 and get a confirmation respons,
but the recordings are still twice as slow.

The command is working, but the file output did not make any difference at all :(

FPS are now terrible 🤣
Even set on 20

When I remove FORCE_ENCODE=true, the FPS in the stream are much better and smoother

FORCE_ENCODE requires more processing power, so make sure your host can handle the re-encode or utilize a hardware encoder.

Not sure if it would make a difference, but have you tried recording the output from the rtsp stream instead? https://github.com/aler9/mediamtx#save-streams-to-disk

i would love to try that, but i realy don't know how.
Is there someone, hoe can explane to me (in simple language) how to do this in my portainer?

[mrlt8]

something like:

- MTX_PATHS_CAMNAME_RUNONREADY=ffmpeg -i rtsp://0.0.0.0:8554/camname -c copy -f segment -strftime 1 -segment_time 60 -segment_format mpegts /record/camname_%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S.ts

- MTX_PATHS_CAMNAME_RUNONREADY=ffmpeg -i rtsp://0.0.0.0:8554/camname -c copy -f segment -strftime 1 -segment_time 60 -segment_format mpegts /record/camname_%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S.ts

Like this?

It don't get any *.ts file

[mrlt8]

You need to specify the CAMNAME in MTX_PATHS_CAMNAME_RUNONREADY with the actual name:
MTX_PATHS_ACHTERTUIN_RUNONREADY

Now the recordings don't mis any frames!
So this is just working fine, except for the switch to nighttime and daytime.
Maybe this is to tweak somehow
