[HW Accel Support]: Timestamps are unset in a packet for stream 0

[madansu]

Describe the problem you are having

Hi,

I have 3 Hikvision cameras streaming into Frigate v 0.16
I have started noticing errors in the frigate logs complaining that frigate is unable to read frame from the ffmpeg process.

The main stream of the cameras goes into Blue Iris, and I dont see any interruptions or hiccups in the video stream there.

The cameras are Hikvision DS-2CD2335FWD-I
I am sending the third stream to Frigate.

I have the following set as my stream configuration on the camera -

My docker stack is running on a Optiplex 5070 micro with an i5-9500T processor.
The OS is Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS

The computer has a second NIC which is in the security camera subnet.

Any guidance on how I can fix this would be much appreciated.

Version

Your Frigate logs show repeated ffmpeg process crashes with errors like “Timestamps are unset in a packet for stream 0. This is deprecated and will stop working in the future. Fix your code to set the timestamps properly,” and “Failed to sync surface ... (internal decoding error).” These errors typically indicate issues with the RTSP stream’s timestamping or with hardware acceleration decoding.

Steps to address this:

1. Check Camera Key Frame (I Frame) Interval:
   The I Frame Interval (keyframe interval) should be set to twice the frame rate for best compatibility. With a frame rate of 6 fps, try setting the I Frame Interval to 12 if possible. This helps ffmpeg maintain proper timestamping and decoding(1).

2. Try Disabling Hardware Acceleration:
   Temporarily remove or comment out the hwaccel_args: preset-vaapi line in your config to see if software decoding resolves the crash. If it does, the issue is likely with Intel VAAPI on your hardware or driver(1).

3. Update ffmpeg Version:
   You can specify a different ffmpeg version in your config to see if the problem persists. Example:

   ffmpeg:
     path: "7.0"

   This will use ffmpeg 7 if it’s included in your Frigate image(2).

4. Stream Settings:

   • Ensure your camera is set to H.264, with a constant bitrate, and that the resolution and frame rate match what you’ve configured in Frigate.
   • If possible, try lowering the bitrate, or switching the profile from “Main Profile” to “Baseline Profile” to test compatibility.

5. Check for Network or Packet Loss:
   Errors like “bad cseq expected” can be symptoms of packet loss or unstable network conditions between the camera and Frigate. Ensure your network between Frigate and the cameras is stable and not experiencing drops.

6. If using Intel GPU Acceleration:

   • Make sure you are passing the correct device to the container (/dev/dri/renderD128).
   • If you continue to see VAAPI errors, try the alternative QSV preset for your Intel CPU generation(1):

     ffmpeg:
       hwaccel_args: preset-intel-qsv-h264

   • If that does not work, revert to preset-vaapi, or test with no hardware acceleration (software decode).

7. Check Camera Stream with ffprobe:
   You’ve already run ffprobe successfully, which confirms the stream is accessible and timestamps are present. Still, try playing the stream in VLC and check for any warnings about missing or invalid timestamps.

If after these steps you still see “timestamps are unset” errors, the root issue is likely with how the camera is generating RTSP packets or their timestamps. Some Hikvision models are known to have buggy or inconsistent RTSP implementations. If your camera has a firmware update available, consider applying it.

In addition to the AI's response, I would suggest:

1. Use go2rtc with restreaming. https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/restream#reduce-connections-to-camera

2. Delete the sections from your configuration where you've directly copied the reference configuration. You have applied many parameters by doing this that will make your experience with Frigate much more difficult.

You can use the AI at https://docs.frigate.video to build your config and ask questions directly.

Thank you ! I will try these suggestions today and update

I finally THINK i have figured out the source of the problem.
The docker library folder /var/lib/docker, lived on a spinning drive and that seemed to choke periodically.

I have since moved the folder to an nvme drive, and now Frigate is smooth.

Come to think of it, this move also solved some other minor issues relating to the other docker containers, that I just initially brushed away.

Glad to hear it's working better for you. Will close this for now but feel free to comment again or open a new discussion if you need additional assistance.
