0.5.1 Release

Fixes for several different hanging scenarios.

Changes:

• Added tzdata to image to allow setting timezone with TZ env var
• Removed unused SharedArray python package
• Remove fps config value for setting expected framerate of the camera
• Skip frames in capture thread when needed to avoid filling plasma store
• Handle plasma store failures
• Fix race condition on detection process watchdog checks
• Move ffmpeg process to separate thread and communicate with a queue
• Ensure frames are cleaned up from plasma store
• Resize debug view based on actual aspect ratio of the frame
• Add frame_time for each step in processing in /debug/stats

Docker image is available with docker pull blakeblackshear/frigate:0.5.1

0.5.1 Release Candidate 4

• Resize preview according to camera's aspect ratio
• Discard plasma store logs
• Fix check for detection process hanging

0.5.1 Release Candidate 3

• Improve cleanup of frame cache in plasma store
• Add some debugging to see which frame each process is working on
• Skip frames in the capture process if the detection process is falling behind

0.5.1 Release Candidate 2

Changes:

• Move ffmpeg collection to a separate thread and use a queue

0.5.1 Release Candidate 1

Changes:

• Switch to SimpleQueue instead of Queue (can no longer report queue sizes)
• Handle rare situations where plasma store fails
• Make detection queue more resilient
• Removed SharedArray as a dependency

Note that this does not fix issues related to Wyzecam RTSP feeds.

0.5.0 Release

This release was a major overhaul to use multiple processes and improve performance.

Breaking Changes:

• You must pass the shm-size parameter to your container via the command line or docker-compose. Check the updated README
• New required fps parameter for the each camera. See example
• Debug endpoint changed. See updated README

Changes:

• Lightweight motion detection incorporated to minimize unnecessary Coral use
• Regions are no longer necessary
• Use of a Coral is now optional
• Separate process per camera
• Allow the mqtt password to pull from env vars
• Debug endpoint now accepts fps and h url parameters to specify size and fps. Default is 1 fps and 360 height for minimal CPU usage.

0.5.0 Release Candidate 7

Changes:

• Ensure the camera recovers after a detection hang
• Update to latest url for tensorflow lite wheel

Docker image is available with docker pull blakeblackshear/frigate:0.5.0-rc7

0.5.0 Release Candidate 6

Changes:

• Update docs
• Handle errors better in detection process
• Actually call the restart function when detection hangs

Docker image is available with docker pull blakeblackshear/frigate:0.5.0-rc6

0.5.0 Release Candidate 5

Changes:

• Handle ffmpeg restarts in the camera subprocess to prevent zombies
• Restart the detection process if it gets stuck
• Switch the detection process to use a queue and the plasma store to avoid locks
• Update the benchmark script to run detection the way frigate does
• Allow the mqtt password to pull from env vars

Docker image is available with docker pull blakeblackshear/frigate:0.5.0-rc5

0.5.0 Release Candidate 3

Changes:

• Fix dictionary changed size during iteration error
• Output stderr logs from plasma store
• Cleanup frames from memory after finished rather than using default eviction
• Add a few more metrics to stats
