Describe the problem you are having

I'm trying to switch from an RTSP stream to a flv stream as it's apparently better. I can use the stream in vlc so I know it's enabled in the camera but I get this error in frigate when I try and use it: "error="streams: exec: "ffmpeg": executable file not found in $PATH" stream=doorbell_sub"

Version

0.16.1-e664cb2

It worked fine when I was using the rtsp stream, but people are suggesting flv is better so I wanted to switch to that.

you should just remove the ffmpeg config in go2rtc and let it use the default

The error message "streams: exec: \"ffmpeg\": executable file not found in $PATH" indicates that go2rtc cannot find the ffmpeg executable to process your FLV stream(1).

Your go2rtc configuration specifies bin: ffmpeg under the ffmpeg section(2):

go2rtc:
  ffmpeg:
    bin: ffmpeg

(2)

However, for the FLV stream to work with go2rtc, you need to specify the full path to the ffmpeg binary. Based on your working cameras and the ffmpeg processes shown in your stats, the correct path should be /usr/lib/ffmpeg/7.0/bin/ffmpeg(3).

Update your go2rtc configuration to:

go2rtc:
  streams:
    doorbell:
      - ffmpeg:http://10.1.60.4/flv?port=1935&app=bcs&stream=channel0_main.bcs&user=admin&password=**#video=copy#audio=copy#audio=opus
      - rtsp://admin:**@10.1.60.4/Preview_01_sub
    doorbell_sub:
      - ffmpeg:http://10.1.60.4/flv?port=1935&app=bcs&stream=channel0_ext.bcs&user=admin&password=**
  ffmpeg:
    bin: /usr/lib/ffmpeg/7.0/bin/ffmpeg  # Full path instead of just 'ffmpeg'

(4), (2)

For Reolink HTTP-FLV streams, you should also use the preset-http-reolink input preset in your camera configuration(5), (6):

cameras:
  doorbell:
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/doorbell
          input_args: preset-rtsp-restream
          roles:
            - record            
        - path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/doorbell_sub
          input_args: preset-rtsp-restream
          roles:
            - detect

(5), (4), (6)

After making these changes, restart Frigate for the configuration to take effect.
