Camera View (jsmpeg mse webrtc)

[18923]

Just wondering what determines the drop down option. Some of my cameras only show "jsmpeg" while others show all 3 options. Cameras are different model. See image.

You need to either have the names matching in go2rtc and frigate config (case sensitive) or you need to set live -> stream_name

Case sensitive YoU SaY... Thank you that fixed it.

Is this something you have add to Frigate?
I only get jsmpeg, I only have 1 camera. Is there a benefit to using one of the others? (assuming I can get them)

You just need to follow the docs https://deploy-preview-4055--frigate-docs.netlify.app/guides/configuring_go2rtc

MSE / webRTC offer full resolution, full frame rate, include audio, and have less latency than jsmpeg.

Remark for novice users - like me - that can find nowhere the dropdown from the above screenshot. It seems that this dropdown has been removed some time ago:

• Version 0.13: a dropdown menu in the UI allowed users to select between jsmpeg, MSE, or WebRTC.
• Version 0.14: Frigate intelligently selects the best type of live view method for the cameras on your dashboard, so this is no longer user selectable.
