Ffmpeg unable to read frames

[Pentagano]

Odd scenario.
Had frigate running for a couple of years.
Same ezviz cameras.
Had to reset a camera due to a network change.
Now it's not reading frames from the same camera that was working fine before. Checked all settings on the camera and all seem to be the same same but still frigate 14.1 is not able to capture the frames.
IP and rtsp url all correct

Using go2rtc streams.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks

No camera IP conflict after reset?
Are you sure the browser you used allowed the settings to "stick" ?

Can you paste your Frigate config?

Removed dhcp asisgnment, reset camera, rebooted routers. Reassigned IP and mac. Can view the cam on the cloud app but not frigate anymore.
code snippet form config:
(3 other cameras working fine and all the same make/config setting) This 4th one worked fine until I reset it the other day.
Not sure how to paste yml code here but indents are fine from VS Code.

Maybe a DNS issue?

Fixed. Was tweaking the dns settings in the ezviz studio app for more granular settings at camera level. Odd one as the others worked fine but I put the router IP and 8.8.8.8 as the second dns option and now frigate is streaming the video!!

Go figure
