Hi All,

 

I've been trying several CCTV docker containers (Shinobi, MotionEye, Zone Alarm and Frigate) and I have the same issue with all of them.

 

Randomly, my video stream seem scrambled and messy (see attached) and when I have a look in the logs, I get the following errors:

 

[h264 @ 0x562cc0734d00] left block unavailable for requested intra mode

I figured out that the only thing those containers have in common is that they use FFMPEG to decode the RTSP stream.

I also googled those erros and they seem related to FFMPEG as well.

 

So is FFMPEG part of the Unraid core and is there any way to fix/update FFMPEG?

If no, how could I fix that?

 

Thanks!

No.  It's in the container(s)

Thanks for the feeback

 

After some further investigations, I found out that it's related to the Reolink Cameras I use.

 

It's recommended to use a RTMP stream instead of an RTSP.

 

For those who may have the same issue, here is the link format for RTMP streams on reolink cameras:
