503 error in docker scrypted, works fine in home assistant

[Phil-Barker]

I don't know if anyone can help with this but I'm beating my head against a wall

I have scrypted running fine within HomeAssistant - 4 TP-Link Kasas cameras that work in a hacky way of having to sender basic HTTP authentication to them

I want to migrate to running scrypted in Docker on my Unraid server instead because I want to use nvidia gpu for transcoding.

Old scrypted within HomeAssistant -

Docker container is running on host networking and appears to connect fine. If I change any of the basic auth I get a 401 error instead so it definitely seems to be talking to the camera but getting a 503 🤷

The scrypted version is the same, ffmpeg plugin version is the same. There's no difference at all between the two yet the docker version says it is getting a 503 error.

Has anyone at all got any insight into what might be causing this?

Firstly my apologies for raising this as an issue instead of a discussion.

I have resolved this now.
For anyone with the same problem in the future - it was simple. It was returning a 503 error because I still had scrypted running in home assistant AND the new one in docker - the camera was erroring as too many clients were trying to connect to the stream.

Face-palm moment.

@Phil-Barker Did you manage to actually get Nvidia transcoding to work?
I am also looking to do so, and hopefully also use it for tensorflow object detection but while my GPU shows up in nvidia-smi it does not seem to be detected by plugins.
