Frigate - Low FPS in HA but not in Frigate

Third party integrations
1

Hi all,

I have been troubleshooting an issue where the FPS is fine in Frigate but the HA card is a lot slower, around 1-2FPS. I have this card on a tablet showing two cameras, one at a time. Both camera’s are USB cameras on a Dell OptiPlex running Proxmox with Frigate in an LXC. I have tried many settings and options but so far nothing seems to fix the issue.

I have had no success with recording or detection so far, so I have disabled both for the time being.

Card config:

type: custom:frigate-card
cameras:
  - go2rtc:
      modes:
        - webrtc
      stream: back
    webrtc_card: {}

Thanks a lot!

you should use go2rtc as the live provider

This seems to help a lot, thanks! I still have framedrops and disconnects, but these are also visible Frigate itself, so are not HA related.
