Getting this error when starting with docker-compose using the docker-compose file on the instruction page:

ffmpeg_input = get_ffmpeg_input(ffmpeg['input']) KeyError: 'input'

Here is my config file. Any ideas?

mqtt:
  host: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
  user: xxxx
  password: xxxx

ffmpeg:
  hwaccel_args:
    - -hwaccel
    - vaapi
    - -hwaccel_device
    - /dev/dri/renderD128
    - -hwaccel_output_format
    - yuv420p

cameras:
  driveway:
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://admin:{FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD}@10.200.200.13:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1   
          roles:
            - rtmp
            - detect
    fps: 5

This looks like an error from 0.7.3, but your config is the new format for the 0.8.0 beta.

If this is for 0.80 beta you're missing the height and width from your config

mqtt:
  host: mqtt.server.com

    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://viewer:{FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD}@10.0.10.10:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=2

Ahh ok. Yeah, I had started with the official Frigate and then moved to the Beta. Ok, I'll give it another go. The older version said it auto detected the height/width so I assume the beta did as well.

Thanks for cleaning up that markdown by the way.

So I'm beyond frustrated with Frigate. I've worked with computers since the mid-90s and I'm not sure another program has frustrated more than this one just to get it up and running.

So if I want to use the newer Beta version of Frigate is the docker-compose file here the correct one to use??? I can tell you that file does not work with up to date version of Docker and Docker-Compose. The error message is:
Unsupported config option for frigate: 'healthcheck' frigate.volumes contains an invalid type, it should be a string

I'm running a fresh Debian install with the latest Docker, Docker Engine, and Docker-Compose:

 Engine:
  Version:          19.03.14
  API version:      1.40 (minimum version 1.12)
  Go version:       go1.13.15
  Git commit:       5eb3275d40
  Built:            Tue Dec  1 19:18:50 2020

docker-compose version 1.27.4, build 40524192
docker-py version: 4.3.1
CPython version: 3.7.7
OpenSSL version: OpenSSL 1.1.0l  10 Sep 2019

The only way to make that file work is to add version and services to the top of it like so:

version: "3.8"
services:
  frigate:
    container_name: frigate
    restart: unless-stopped
    ....

So if I add version and services it will at least begin to download the image listed in the docker file but then error out with an input error when it tries to start Frigate. The error is:

On connect called
frigate    | Traceback (most recent call last):
frigate    |   File "detect_objects.py", line 441, in <module>
frigate    |     main()
frigate    |   File "detect_objects.py", line 196, in main
frigate    |     ffmpeg_input = get_ffmpeg_input(ffmpeg['input'])
frigate    | KeyError: 'input

Here is my config:

  host: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
  user: user
  password: password

ffmpeg:
  hwaccel_args:
    - -hwaccel
    - vaapi
    - -hwaccel_device
    - /dev/dri/renderD128
    - -hwaccel_output_format
    - yuv420p

cameras:
  driveway:
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://admin:{FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD}@10.200.200.13:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1
          roles:
            - rtmp
    height: 704
    width: 480
    fps: 5

So I don't get it. What am I doing wrong? I'm using the exact docker-compose file listed here and then I'm using a pretty vanilla config file based off of this. I've bet I've spent a total of 5 - 6 hours working on this the last couple of days. I'm so far invested in this even if I don't like it, I plan on seeing it through till the end because its pissed me off enough now I want to conquer it.

You must also have a - detect role defined for an input:

cameras:
  driveway:
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://admin:{FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD}@10.200.200.13:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1
          roles:
            - rtmp
            - detect # add this
    height: 704
    width: 480
    fps: 5

Thanks for the reply paul. No change when I add that. Still the same error message I listed above.

Sorry for all the confusion. You are getting stuck in the middle of a bunch of changes to the documentation, and the beta version's documentation is also in beta. Let's reset and I can use this to update the docs for others. Just so I have context, you are running the Frigate container with docker compose on Debian. What about the rest of your setup? Are you running homeassistant somewhere else? Are you already running an mqtt server as well?

Hey Blake! I'm running Frigate on Debian bare metal on a NUC via Docker-Compose. I have a VM setup on Proxmox for HomeAssistant with Mosquito for an MQTT there as well.

So two systems: One NUC for main Frigate install that the Coral device will install directly to and then a HA VM on Proxmox for everything else.

This should work for docker compose:

version: "3.6"
services:
  frigate:
    container_name: frigate
    restart: unless-stopped
    privileged: true
    image: blakeblackshear/frigate:0.8.0-beta1-amd64
    volumes:
      - /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - <path_to_config>:/config
      - <path_to_directory_for_clips>:/media/frigate/clips      
      - <path_to_directory_for_recordings>:/media/frigate/recordings      
      - type: tmpfs # Optional: 1GB of memory, reduces SSD/SD Card wear
        target: /tmp/cache
        tmpfs:
          size: 100000000
    ports:
      - "5000:5000"
      - "1935:1935" # RTMP feeds
    environment:
      FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD: "password"

Your config for frigate should be:

mqtt:
  host: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
  user: user
  password: password

ffmpeg:
  hwaccel_args:
    - -hwaccel
    - vaapi
    - -hwaccel_device
    - /dev/dri/renderD128
    - -hwaccel_output_format
    - yuv420p

cameras:
  driveway:
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://admin:{FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD}@10.200.200.13:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1
          roles:
            - detect
            - rtmp
    height: 480
    width: 704
    fps: 5

Alright I got the add-on working in HA and can see my camera just fine. Now I'll start messing with motion detection and perhaps get a Coral device. My Coral Inference speed is 150 using the CPU which I assume is pretty bad from what I've read.

Thanks for helping me get this setup. Hopefully getting the docs corrected will spare you some questions going forward!

blakeblackshear Dec 11, 2020

On my i3 NUC I get ~8ms inference speeds, so you should expect more than a 15x speed increase with the Coral.

biggen1684 Dec 11, 2020

I'll order a Coral device today. Any particular one?

Also, whats the easiest way to delete a camera from HA if I no longer need it? I know I can delete it from the Frigate config, but does't it leave behind "remnants" of the deleted camera in HA?

The USB one is compatible with almost every machine, but it lacks some of the builtin throttling functions to keep it from overheating. I have never had that problem though. The performance should be the same, but if you have a compatible M.2 or mPCI slot, it would be nice to not have a usb device hanging from your NUC.

You may have to restart homeassistant, but you should be able to go to "Configuration > Entities" and delete any entities no longer provided by the integration.

biggen1684 Dec 11, 2020

Yeah there is an M.2 slot in my NUC. I need to make sure it can actually be used for a Coral and not a hard disk only device.

Very impressed with Frigate so far. I'm glad I I stuck with it getting through the docs. Thanks again for your help!

I think you have the height and width the wrong way round as well. My resolution is 352x240 but that is 352 wide and 240 high. If you are still getting issues try setting:
height:480
Width:704

Good catch. Thanks.

jamos77 Dec 11, 2020

Would it work if the example in the docs listed width before height as I think this has caught a few people out including me.
