Clips are just created from recordings when you try to watch them, the clips directory only has snapshots in it.
I’d suggest restarting frigate, let it run for 1 minute, then paste the full bit of logs here and say if there are any files in recordings directory
Try “all”
record:
enabled: True
retain:
days: 7
mode: all
OK I changed the mode to all from motion, restarted, let it run for a minute or so (even walked out to the driveway to trigger it) but there’s still nothing in the recordings directory. Here’s the entire log.
Thanks again for all the help.

You should definitely have more logs in the beginning that look like this

otherwise, you may be restarting the wrong thing.
if you have debug logs enabled for all (which we highly discourage, they are not helpful unless debugging very specific issues), we’d expect your logs to be flooded. If it is not then the config has definitely not been loaded which means frigate addon is not being restarted or a different config is being used instead
Hmmm, to restart I go to Settings > System and hit Restart in the upper right corner. It then shuts down and restarts.
I don’t believe I have debug logs enabled for all. As far as a different config I really don’t know where that would be. Would some other folder have a file messing me up? I really haven’t fooled around with anything other than frigate.yml.
That will only restart home assistant, it does not restart the frigate addon AFAIK
Your config shows you have
logger:
default: debug
which is debug logs for all modules in frigate. If frigate is using that config then there will be an enormous amount of logs in the addon logs
Boy, I’ve about had it. I found the restart in Frigate and restarted it. Now I don’t even have live view. I get this on my dashboard and the log is now full of errors.

Look at above line in config. Whatever you have set under “objects” may be wrong.
Is that your full config in earlier post?
Your config is invalid, you should paste your entire config (in text, not screenshot)

Move logger before cameras
Remove everything after “#camera” until after you get things working

Maybe some progress. I removed #camera and below (I thought I had all that commented out the spacing was off) and now camera live view is back.
edit: just saw your post so I’ll logger.
Success!!! I’m getting everything now. I can’t thank you enough. Your expertise and patience made my day!
Many thanks for your help. I getting everything now.
You folks are really amazingly helpful.
Thanks again!

Old post I know, but the reason you were getting the Object error is because “bike” isn’t a valid object. It should be “bicycle”

OK thanks. Actually I’m not using “bike” or “bicycle” now. I’ve never seen a bike in our close. Frigate has been running quite well now for some time. Pretty accurate too. Except for that spider spinning a web over the camera. Frigate thinks it’s a person.
