@Kyle, can you try rebooting your rtmp cameras with the blakeblackshear/frigate:dev image to see if it still hangs?
just tried out the dev version, but it still stuck after Reolink camera restart:

Pulled the latest dev image from docker and ran it. I rebooted my cameras and it did work for me! I can see the /debug/stats show a new ffmpeg_pid and the debug view shows the realtime view working. Thanks!
@nic0dk There are two things that I think might be different between our setups.
- I think I caught before that you’re using RTSP, while I’m using RTMP on the reolink cameras. Reolink Doc on setup.
- Ensure you’re pulling the latest image of
frigate:dev:. Often I’ll find myself needing to manually delete myfrigate:devimage locally when a new one is posted because I haven’t found a reliable way for mydocker-composeto force the pull of a newer image with the same tag.
When I run:
docker images --no-trunc --quiet blakeblackshear/frigate:dev
I get:
sha256:1747585cb047bebd55c4d08c272d45b9ae460765e808fa2a88461e13fc1e0767
But I’m also not sure if that’s unique for my machine, or everyone should be seeing the same sha256… so just keep that in mind

I can tell that you are using the latest dev image from your logs. Also, I can see rtmp in your ffmpeg statements. Did terrasseNV restart ok? It is strange that your detection process is getting stuck so frequently. That should be very rare. I might see that once per week. What is your hardware setup?
about the restart of terrasseNV, it did restart ok, i can use the same rtmp on vlc with no problem, but the only way i can get it working on frigate, is by restarting the container (just did the test again)
im running an NUC i5-5250U with 16gb ram with proxmox and plain debian on top, where i have frigate docker running, aswell added in a google coral, the load via htop:
here is the debug url:

What do you mean it caught the stream again? It started working after a few tries? Next time that happens, can you exec into the docker container and run ps -ef? I want to see if there are lingering ffmpeg processes holding onto network connections and overwhelming your camera. Do you always have detection times of ~34ms? With that setup, you should be closer to 10ms. Your proxmox/vm setup is introducing a lot of overhead if so.
yes it caught the stream again, i just needed to wait.
im not sure what causes the 34ms delay - i did ping the camera from the host and frigate container and had a ping below 0.5ms - can i dig some logs for finding the reason of the high inference latency - im thinking some kind of limited to the google coral usb port?
The 34ms I mentioned is the delay in the container talking to the Coral, not a delay in the container talking to the camera. You are only going to hit 30% of the processing power of the Coral and max out at ~35fps.
ok, i need to investigate in what cause this problem, maybe i should try to move frigate container out on the VM host directly for bypassing the vhost setup
Hi, I’m using your setup since one month integrated with HA and it works just great!
In my applications, I have three outdoor IP CAMs I’m using to check intrusions (person detection) through my backyard. I’m still getting some false positive with confidence >75% I’m trying to manage with some post-filtering based on detection persistence.
Just for curiosity, have you ever tested Detectron2 from Facebook for similar applications?
I haven’t tested Detectron2. I have been focused on tensorflow because of the Coral devices. If it is more accurate, it is probably because it’s using a different type of model. The one being used in frigate is optimized for real time analysis over accuracy. I am starting to look into further improvements that would reduce false positives. I am trying to collect clips of false positives for testing if you are willing to send me some samples.
sure. No pb.
Here is the link with snapshots and clips.
I think this kind of heurestic would also get rid of almost all my false positives, as they usually involve animals. I just had one that I can send to you. I don’t have the debug output but I have the original camera recording from the DVR. I’ll PM it to you.
This might be a beginner question but still, I’m monitoring my MQTT server and do see a lot of message from Frigate with only the contents: online.
I have about 4 for of them every second.
Is there any option to disable this flood of messages?
I’m a bit worried this is taking up network bandwith.
That is probably typically an indication that you have multiple containers of frigate running. All cameras should be in a single config file.

Are masks still working for anyone else in 5.1.RC4?
I’m only sharing this because I was impressed by what was captured and that it was a false positive. It’s such a neat shot I dont even mind the false positive.

My masks seem to be working under rc4… I think you can now apply different masks to specific objects, though I haven’t tried it yet.
