VLC automatically switches between UDP and TCP depending on network conditions and stream availability. So a stream that works in VLC but not in Frigate is likely due to VLC selecting UDP as the transfer protocol. -TCP ensures that all data packets arrive in the correct order. This is crucial for video recording, which is why Frigate enforces a TCP connection. UDP is faster but less reliable, as it does not guarantee packet delivery or order. +TCP ensures that all data packets arrive in the correct order. This is crucial for video recording, decoding, and stream processing, which is why Frigate enforces a TCP connection. UDP is faster but less reliable, as it does not guarantee packet delivery or order, and VLC does not have the same requirements as Frigate.
