Foscam stream leads to errors

[lyncker]

I tried to connect my Foscam to Viseron using the RTSP stream , but with this cam I get errors:

I tried to change the codec within the Foscam, but it seems there are no options ... Im using the substream

Can you post your fill configuration along with debug logs from Viseron startup?

I'm also getting errors with my Foscam cameras, error below, seems to be codec related:

Config:

ffmpeg:
  camera:
    front:
       name: Front
       host: 192.168.0.121
       port: 554
       path: /videoMain
       fps: 5
       username: x
       password: x
       protocol: rtsp

Using gstreamer instead of ffmpeg seems to work, though!
