Describe the problem you are having

Hi all,
I'm trying to implement my Tapo cameras (C520WS) with or without ONVIF capabilities.
I want to move my installation from motioneye since 8y to Frigate to enhance motion capabilities.
I've found several configurations but at this stage, nothing works unfortunetally.

My Frigate is installed on a VM Debian12 including portainer to enhance logging.

I can open on VLC the RSTP stream1 or stream2 with the login/password.
I've tried with the IP and IP:554.

go2rtc: streams: tapo_test: - rtsp:///login:[email protected]/stream1 - ffmpeg:tapo_test#audio=opus tapo_test_sub: - rtsp:///login:[email protected]/stream2 cameras: tapo_test: ffmpeg: output_args: record: preset-record-generic-audio-copy inputs: - path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/tapo_test input_args: preset-rtsp-restream roles: - record - path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/tapo_test_sub input_args: preset-rtsp-restream roles: - detect live: stream_name: tapo_test version: 0.14
