[Camera Support]: Reolink Cameras causing ffmpeg crashes

[death2all110]

Describe the problem you are having

Frigate logs are getting filled with ffmpeg related errors from my Reolink Cameras. I do get the occasional error from my Amcrest doorbell, but the largest offender is by far my 2 reolink cameras.

I'd suggest using the recommended reolink config https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/camera_specific#reolink-cameras

[death2all110]

I tried this, but it didn't make a difference. FFMPEG is still crashing constantly and filling the logs
Most recent logs from this attempt, as well as updated config.

Update:

I modified the config to remove the "" from around the URL after ffmpeg in the go2rtc portion of the config, and that seemed to fix the errors that go2rtc was spitting out. Still having issues with FFMPEG crashing:

[h264 @ 0x55e6934f2000] [warning] Using more than 32 (37) decode surfaces might cause nvdec to fail

looks like the number of decoders on the GPU has been exceeded
