Describe the problem you are having

Hello,

For a project, i need to have 2 (4 at the end) same usb caméra, recording only on motion.
I have config one successfully with a Raspberry PI 4B 8Go and Live Streamer CAM 313.

But, i have connected a second one and when i start Frigate, i have only one caméra, other one is off.
Sometime, after reboot, first one disapear and second one appear ...

I see well my two cam with "v4l2-ctl --list-devices" command :

Live Streamer CAM 313: Live Str (usb-0000:01:00.0-1.1.4.3):
/dev/video0
/dev/video1
/dev/media0

Live Streamer CAM 313: Live Str (usb-0000:01:00.0-1.1.4.4):
/dev/video2
/dev/video3
/dev/media1

I try to change for the video0 to video1 ... whitout effect ...

I don't know if the probleme is on the raspberry pi, or frigate.

Thank you in advance.

You may be able to use go2rtc's ffmpeg-device source: https://github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc?tab=readme-ov-file#source-ffmpeg-device

Then, you can just have frigate pull those streams from go2rtc: https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/restream#with-single-stream

Or you could run an ffmpeg stream separately with something like what another user recently did here:

ffmpeg -f v4l2 -input_format yuyv422 -i /dev/video0 -c:v h264_omx -b:v 1M -pix_fmt yuv420p -video_size 720x480 -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:80/live/stream
