Describe the issue/problem and steps to reproduce
Hello and thanks for the awesome project!
I have a Reolink RLC-810A IP camera, it emits 4K H.265 stream over RTSP, camera is connected over LAN (not Wi-Fi).
When recording motion events or timelapses using Motion the resulting files have regular (every few seconds) 1-2-frame glitches in them, like this:
When I watch the same stream using VLC everything is fine.
Is there anything that I can do to improve that? Thanks in advance.
P.S.
There's no CPU overload, no network packet loss or anything like this.
The config is very simple e.g.
camera_name Garage
width 3840
height 2160
framerate 5
netcam_url rtsp://foo:[email protected]:554/h264Preview_01_main
timelapse_codec mpeg4
timelapse_interval 1
timelapse_mode hourly
target_dir /var/lib/motion/garage
timelapse_filename %Y-%m-%d/%Y-%m-%d-%H_timelapse
Relevant Motion log output (at log_level 8)
