set all cam input to low resolution
post error logs from frigate after you make that change
error log will say why crashing/stopping. possible that symptom is same but cause is different so important to always verify, especially after any change.
I only reply here and you may post resolution to other thread if ever resolved
This is the error I keep getting:
frigate.events WARNING : More than 90% of the cache is used.
frigate.events WARNING : Consider increasing space available at /tmp/cache or reducing max_seconds in your clips config.
frigate.events WARNING : Proactively cleaning up the cache...

this is received after change “terras” camera from 3840x2160 to low res?
Yes… even without that one…
In this case, try increase memory available for /dev/shm in VM or at least check current size
run “df” in vm command line should provide current size.
I have (6) cam with 60mb and doesnt even blink but when using larger input image it freeze
I assuming larger size for /dev/shm will help based on “recommended” from frigate github install guide and the errors you receive that point to this. You should aslo see current use % so this may provide insight of if this is causing error or not. Error says “warning 90%” so I guess maybe it just crash or frigate stop at 100
Thank you @tmjpugh this is very constructive help and feedback!
I have now changed the VM from 2 cores/vcpu
to:
and also:
tmpfs_cache_size: 512m
I have 3 cams on “low res” and 1 on high res and it seems to run more quiet/smooth now. not sure about that /dev/shm size but this is the output:

Any chance you know how to get rid of these:
frigate.app WARNING : Camera voordeur has clips assigned to an input, but clips is not enabled.
frigate.app WARNING : Camera schuurachter has clips assigned to an input, but clips is not enabled.
frigate.app WARNING : Camera parkeerplaats has clips assigned to an input, but clips is not enabled.
frigate.app WARNING : Camera terras has clips assigned to an input, but clips is not enabled.
I see that when I restart frigate and go with another browser/session to the interface the “clips” icon is not turned on. I can turn it on by hand then… how can I “keep it on”?
maybe only needed to increase cores. Did that remove memory warning?
I not sure about /dev/shm as well but that look more than sufficient
set clips >> enabled: True in your config to permanently enable ON
Tried that but when I do that frigate wont start and says:
* Starting nginx nginx
...done.
Error parsing config: extra keys not allowed @ data['clips']['enabled']
* Starting nginx nginx
...done.
Error parsing config: extra keys not allowed @ data['clips']['enabled']
this is config:
clips:
enabled: True
Not sure if that did it… but for sure it is now more “easy”. But I still wonder… if I have a Coral, why is cpu so high?
ffmpeg still need cpu
it is used to retrieve, decode, encode and create videos/clips/images
TPU is only for detection
Part of my config below
use this for example of how clips should be. Must set clips config for each camera and enable clips as role for an available image source

Oh I see, the clips is intended and need to be set per camera?
no, that doe not work for me…
* Starting nginx nginx
...done.
Error parsing config: extra keys not allowed @ data['cameras']['terras']['clips']['max_seconds']
* Starting nginx nginx
...done.
Error parsing config: extra keys not allowed @ data['cameras']['terras']['clips']['max_seconds']
I am really not sure how to get that in my config file…
Bingo!!
Frigate is amazing but the config file is like Homeassistant
I really want to know if this can be split like homeassistants. I only be using frigate about 8 hrs and have shutdown but motioneye and doods in favor of this
the error says you have set something wrong in the config for the “terras” camera for “clips” “max_seconds” value. Check this part of config and make sure no extra spaces or incorrect spacing
extra keys not allowed @ data['cameras']['terras']['clips']['max_seconds']
post current config if you cant find error
EDIT
max_seconds was not in my config example and I not find it in documentation
maybe it not belong in config
Think I got ‘that’ part now running… all cams are now saving clips.
although yesterday it was running more smooth up until this morning and then it froze again… I could not see ‘any’ sensible thing in log so I restarted the container.
will update on this. thanks so far! very much appreciated.
EDIT: Update
It is hopeless… the reason for having a more stable situation yesterday seems to be the fact there was less motion due to wind. This morning ther eis more motion and it keeps crashing…
part of the log I was able to capture:

Bus error is likely caused by memory issue according to docs
Try “df” at command line of vm again and see if results change from yesterday
Also based on, it’s ok with little motion but crash when a lot of motion, it sound like resource/memory issue.
You don’t use addon correct?
Remove this from config
tmpfs_cache_size: 512m
Also, you have FPS set between 4-6 depending on camera. Is this set the same in camera? Just curious, not sure if this matter.
This is my final config with still the “when a lot of motion it crashes”

Yes, it matches the camera
