your config is not formatted correctly, the indentation is wrong. I would suggest using the getting started guide https://docs.frigate.video/guides/getting_started#configuring-frigate

[fetalp]

Ok, I will go over those again. I can get it to work with 1 cam but as soon as I add the second a myriad of errors but I'll figure it out. Thanks

[supermarkert]

It would seem that all of your cameras need to be defined under the "cameras:" section, not just your Driveway.
You have a head section called "living_room_cam:" which doesn't belong there. Move it up with your driveway: cam, at the same indent level.

[fetalp]

I thought it was under the cameras: I tried one and 2 indentations with different errors coming up. I’ll take a more in depth look. Thanks for the heads up been at this for two days now. I think I’ve fried my brain or something

[supermarkert]

Look at your 2 headings labeled "Driveway" and "Living Room". You've defined your cameras differently. Regardless, you can't separate them like that anyway. All your cameras need to be under one heading, "cameras:". See the master config example.

also you should use the Built in config editor in the frigate Web Gui as it will show you where the errors are located. (you may have to upgrade to a newer version of frigate to get this though).

However I'm assuming you currently cannot start frigate to even get into the Web GUI, in which case I'm sure there are online YAML configuration validators (pasting your config into one of these should show where the error can formatting only lies.) An offline alternative would be to use something like notepad plus plus and set the language to YAML (This may highlight or make visible where any layout or indication errors exist).

(In terms of online web submitted validators - you May want to consider the safety of pasting in passwords or any publicly accessible data into an online YAML validator - thus If you're paranoid / or publicly accessible - X out any credentials before pasting)

(Also you are not alone- YAML can be tricky and even annoying at times, until you get used to it)
