another error setting up reolink cameras

[765pjj]

Hi.

It seems I cannot figure out what I did wrong with the config.yaml. I am trying to setup a Reolink camera 510a. It shows up in the reolink app and on motioneye but I can't seem to find the right documentation.

The server is up and running fine under docker.

Here is my config.yaml:

Start by adding some cameras
ffmpeg:
camera:
camera_1: # This value has to be unique across all cameras
name:
host: 192.168.xxx.xxx
port: 554
path: /h264Preview_01_main
fps: 30
protocol: rtsp
username: user (edited)
password: pwd (edited)

and here is the error message I am getting:

[2023-05-23 22:22:06] [INFO ] [viseron.components] - Setting up domain nvr for component nvr with identifier camera_1

What am I doing possibly wrong?

-> after setting up a new user at the camera and giving the numbers for width and height, it now works with the following errors:

Does the camera not have a username + password? In that case you need to leave it out in the config.
Right now Viseron tries to connect with a blank user and password

Sorry missed the part where you said you added a user!
Those errors should not affect anything, FFmpeg sometimes prints decoder errors but its nothing to worry about.
