go2rtc Integration: Config Override (YAML) not working

[mhagnumdw]

Adding for example:

ffmpeg:
  h264: "-codec:v copy -codec:a copy"
  h265: "-codec:v copy -codec:a copy"

log:
  level: trace

It doesn't seem to work and doesn't affect the /etc/lightnvr/go2rtc/go2rtc.yaml file.

Verion: ghcr.io/opensensor/lightnvr:latest (v0.33.2)

[mhagnumdw]

I'm now getting the message: "No go2rtc binary available and no running service detected"

But I'm using a Docker image, so there's no way the binary doesn't exist.

Testing now with version ghcr.io/opensensor/lightnvr:0.34.0 and the config override still doesn't work.

Full effective configuration:

Note that the configuration webrtc.candidates: 192.168.0.99:8555 is not present.

You are putting per-stream overrides in the global settings override, try putting it in the per stream override.

EDIT: might be a bug, but I am sure "still doesn't work" isn't accurate after spending 3 hours on it last night.

Ok, so something is preventing your setup fromw riting or finding the other config file fragments (they aren't all written to the root config anymore).

Hi @matteius

EDIT: might be a bug, but I am sure "still doesn't work" isn't accurate after spending 3 hours on it last night.

If there's any specific log snippet I can send you, let me know.

What I tested now

Test 1

In the go2rtc camera override configuration, I added this to cam_cozinha:

rtsp://user:password@192.168.0.109:554/onvif2

And this didn't affect /etc/lightnvr/go2rtc/go2rtc.yaml. I even restarted the docker container to see if it would work. And in practice, it didn't work.

Test 2

In the global override configuration of go2rtc, I added this:

webrtc:
  candidates:
    - 192.168.0.99:8555

And it didn't affect /etc/lightnvr/go2rtc/go2rtc.yaml either.

I also tested the profiles that were added in this new version (I liked that!), in the "Load example..." combo box, and they weren't applied to the /etc/lightnvr/go2rtc/go2rtc.yaml file either.

Let me know if there are any other tests you'd like me to do.
