Using Openvino as a detector in Frigate on HAOS

Configuration
1

I’m running Frigate as an addon (Full Access version with protection mode off) on HAOS (bare metal). My Beelink EQi12 should support Openvino. But when I add openvino as a detector to my configuration, I get an error (see below) and Frigate won’t start.

I do see, at the bottom of the Frigate window: Intel GPU 0%.
Does that suggest that Frigate sees my GPU without needing Openvino?

Detector config:

detectors:
  ov_detector:
    type: openvino
    device: GPU

solved. I had the wrong configuration. Reference.

@ih8gates I am having the same issue on Minisforum UH125 Pro with Intel Arc iGPU. Been trying different setting combination without luck. Can you show me your detection and model setting of your config.yml?

I used the config that I linked to:
