Camera started loading slow in frigate lovelace dashboard, after HA system & frigate upgrades

After installing the system and the firgate updates, the cameras started to load slowly in my dashboard, using Frigate Card. In frigate, clicking on “Live”, “Birdseye” and “All Cameras”, camera stream show a lot faster!

I never saw this before, but I am NOW getting a blue progress bar circle on the top right corner of the camera display in my dashboard. When I hover over it, it says “Waiting for live stream to load …”. It is very inconsistent, sometimes it stays there for a long time, sometime it goes away after 3 to 5 minutes. When I page refresh the chrome while viewing a dashboard, it just hangs there, without displaying any other streams. But when I stop and refresh again it displays other cameras fast, with “blue circle” on some the cards.

  • I know the actual camera stream is not slow, because when I test the stream in VLC > Open Network Stream …" it pulls and show the high resolution camera stream in 3 to 5 seconds. I am guessing there is something wrong with the frigate card add-on.

  • While viewing in frigate (not the dashboard) every thing seems to be normal.

  • I also noticed that as soon as I go to the dashboard containing the “Frigate cards” the CPU fan starts racing very fast.

UPDATE: 12/16/2024 - After seeing the circle for around 5 minutes of a frozen in time camera scene, I get following image in the Frigate Car, with the “blue circle” still on the top right"

I’m also getting this error after updating home assistant. WebRTC works fine in the Frigate UI.
