From one camera stream, provide one with and one without audio? about go2rtc HOT 4 CLOSED

Not best idea, because you get internal rtsp loop. But that's the only option at the moment

go2rtc:
  streams:
    Tapo_C210_full: tapo://[email protected]
    Tapo_C210: rtsp://localhost:8554/Tapo_C210_full?video

1. You don't need OPUS audio, because tapo provide PCMA audio. It's compatible with WebRTC and MSE.
2. You need AAC only if you want audio inside Frigate's mp4 storage.

It depends, where you wan stream without audio.
For example, WebRTC card support request only video with media: video setting.
Go2rtc RTSP server also support return stream with only video with ?video query param.

Thanks for the quick answer :)

1. Good to know => I'll remove it.
2. That's a left-over from when the initial setup => I'll remove it.

So, does the following look reasonable?

go2rtc:
  streams:
    # Full stream with audio and video
    Tapo_C210_full:
    - tapo://[email protected]
    # Limited stream with audio stripped
    Tapo_C210:
    - "ffmpeg:Tapo_C210_full?video"

In Frigate I'd then call the camera "Tapo_C210", so the non-audio stream would be picked up for live preview (afaik, it's not possible to specify a stream URL for the live view manually). For recording I would also use that stream, but for audio detection I'd use "Tapo_C210" (and Frigate would only request the audio stream).

EDIT: I tried to remove the 'ffmpeg' from "ffmpeg:Tapo_C210_full?video", as I'm not sure we really need ffmpeg here, but then go2rtc complains about unknown scheme.

Thank you!

That looks more efficient than my version with "ffmpeg:".
I can live with this not being ideal. It's good enough for my use case 😄
