Frigate - Help Needed

championc

Hi all

This could possibly (and hopefully) morph into a full Frigate support thread.I am stuck with two problems - one on my own system, and one on a single camera in the Mother-In-Laws

To begin with the M-I-L, I believed that I have the config file setup for saving up to 30 days of recordings. But for some reason, it is only saving something from the past 24hrs. Could someone throw their eyes over it, and see if there is something obvious wrong with it.

The detect stream is of a lower quality than the recording stream. And if there are better ways to format the config, then I'm all ears. I don't have any Coral device

          roles:

Config looks fine, but keep in mind that active_objects does not include objects that were stationary.

And do you have enough storage on your device left? frigate will automatically delete the oldest recordings if it's running out of storage space.

This might let you test a few things. It will retain all motion detection for 7 days, but any objects that you're tracking will be kept for 30 days.

record:

  enabled: True
  retain:

    days: 7

    mode: motion
  events:

    pre_capture: 2

    post_capture: 5

    retain:

      default: 30

    mode: active_objects
  motion:

    threshold: 30

    contour_area: 10

    improve_contrast: True

btw, you simply cannot go wrong with buying a Google Coral USB (only because it's super easy to install and setup) and then purchasing a subscription to Frigate+ to train a custom model for your setup. The difference in detection accuracy with a custom model is night and day/

I finally discovered my problem - I never noticed the 24hr button in the top right corner of the screen !!! Clicked on it and of course, I have recordings going back months :)

But I have another question which I reckon is down to misconfiguration. If I go in to review recordings, and hover the mouse over them, then I see a sped up version of what was captured.

However, when I click on any , the display changes to full screen, but the "loading" type icon just spins around and around in the centre of the screen.

But if I export the segment, it exports OK into an MP4 file, and plays OK. So the issue is just to preview captured video. Any thoughts ?

If you figure that out please tell me because I experience the exact same issue 😂. And my systems CPU + RAM, and storage is more than capable of handling the disk read/write requirements.

One thing I just noticed on Wednesday was that if I accessed my system remotely, then I seemed to be able to watch clips, but not when using 127.0.0.1:5000

I need to test further

I think, whatever issues were present in 0.14 now appear to be gone in 0.15.1
