[Config Support]: Frigate doesn`t start after reboot of Homeassistant

[A-Huberti]

Describe the problem you are having

Frigate runs without trouble in homeassistant (VM in Proxmox, frigate addon installed, three cams running). After reboot of homeassistant the addon doesn't start anymore.
See relevant frigate log output.
Any idea?

This is a Python library dependency error with the shapely library, not a Frigate configuration issue. The error ImportError: undefined symbol indicates a corrupted or incompatible installation of the shapely library in your Frigate container.

Since you're running Frigate as a Home Assistant Add-on, try these steps:

1. Reinstall the Frigate Add-on: Uninstall and reinstall the add-on completely. This will pull a fresh container image and should resolve the corrupted library.

2. Check for system updates: Ensure your Home Assistant OS and Supervisor are up to date, as outdated versions can sometimes cause dependency issues.

3. Clear Docker images: If reinstalling doesn't work, you may need to clear cached Docker images in Proxmox/Home Assistant to force a complete fresh download.

4. Verify USB Coral passthrough: Since you're using a Coral USB detector, ensure the USB device is properly passed through to the VM after reboot. Sometimes USB passthrough can fail after a reboot, which might trigger initialization errors.

This isn't related to your configuration file - your config looks properly formatted. The issue is with the Python environment inside the container becoming corrupted, which typically happens when container updates are interrupted or system resources are constrained during startup.

If the problem persists after reinstalling, you may want to reach out to the Frigate community on GitHub for more specific troubleshooting related to the Home Assistant Add-on environment.

Reinstall of the Frigate Add-on solves the problem. Thx.
