@AlexxIT regarding your comment on #1520 (comment)

Unifi does not accept my newly uploaded config, just throws an error.
See my code: https://gist.github.com/blockiindahood/89642419ca5947124deb16e2b1649a17

I did change the values as you described, do I have to edit anything else?

[AlexxIT]

Are you sure your JSON valid (whole cameras.json file)?

[einlichtvogel]

Yes, checked it.

[AlexxIT]

Have you copied another ONVIF camera? Because I'm copied another go2rtc camera. I have added it via WebUI. Maybe other JSON values important. I don't know. I'll check it later.

[einlichtvogel]

Yes, I've copied another ONVIF camera.

Could you share your config for one of your go2rtc cams?

#1520 (comment)

I got it right ?

Doing this way I don't need to have one instance of go2rtc for each camera ?

Or I only don't need to have one IP for each instance?

[BrunoTCouto]

Wondering if I could connect directly to RTSP camera doing this way. Will test later

@blockiindahood this is my file https://gist.github.com/AlexxIT/d91b828171de3f2af2ca43b60d187c81
Just created it from the scratch. And tested. I'm using Protect 5.1.85.

@BrunoTCouto one go2rtc, one IP, unlimited cameras. This will work directly with any RTSP camera. Also without go2rtc.

@AlexxIT Thank you for sharing. From your configuration I only changed thirdPartyCameraInfo and it started working.

My best guess is channels misconfiguration on my side that stuck the streaming.

[einlichtvogel]

@AlexxIT seems to be a zipping problem: downloading the config, unzipping it, not changing anything, zipping it, and uploading it, does not work.

only uploading an original downloaded zip file work for me

[AlexxIT]

Maybe your archiver has a problem. I'm using the built in TotalCmd.

[einlichtvogel]

I'll test this. I am using macOS's native one.

It works !! One go2rtc and two Hikvision facial detectors :D 🥇
