In 16.0 RC 4 I had problems with event clips, when sending them to Telegram - they were of an incomprehensible length and often did not play at all. After rolling back to the latest release version (15) the problem went away. Was this fixed in the 16.0 release? |

Just a heads up.. Steps I took
Tried to start frigate, however it would not boot and referenced a 10.10.0.10 camera that I do not own nor a subnet I use. Referenced "Automatic migration" section of 16.0 readme..
My fix
Log file now contains Hope this helps others. |

Probably just a config issue but i cant seem to get object detection to work anymore. Not sure if changing over to onnx detectors from tensor or if something else is wrong. Config is attached. Any help is appreciated.

My upgrade from 0.15.2, on TrueNAS, was painless. I forgot where the database file is stored in TN but I backed up my config and then simply told TN to upgrade. All is well; I need to start playing with number plate recognition and bird recognition soon (I tried one of the betas on a different platform - docker compose - so I know it isn't too hard). Frigate is great! |

I am reporting regression related to 0.15.2 to 0.16.0 upgrade: I know you were stating in docs that HEVC/H265 is not supported but it was working fine for me with hardware acceleration making use of go2rtc via ffmpeg. But not anymore when upgraded to 0.16.0. Spent 2 days debugging. And here is the cause: On 0.15.2 hardware info:
On 0.16.0 hardware info:
So the version of libva changed from 2,10.0 to 2.12.0 but its missing critical function for my setup:
How come it was compiled with lesser function support even tho updated? For now I reverted HA addon to 0.15.2 as this one works. I might provide logs and config snippet. But reason is obvious now as error logs clearly say function not implemented. |

Does anyone use Docker images and have updated from 0.15.x? Any issues? |

Just updated to 0.16.0 (Docker) without issue. Had to update scripts that relied on Go2RTC to check which cameras are online and offline but that was expected. I enabled face recognition and it seems to work. Is this expected behavior. |

Major Changes for 0.16.0
Breaking Changes
There are several breaking changes in this release, Frigate will attempt to update the configuration automatically. In some cases manual changes may be required. It is always recommended to back up your current config and database before upgrading:
frigate.db
fileThe TensorRT detector has been removed for Nvidia GPUs, the ONNX detector should be used instead. Nvidia recently pushed newer packages and dropped compatibility for older versions of TensorRT. Supporting native TensorRT detector directly has shown to be a large burden, making supporting newer hardware more difficult and increasing the difficulty in updating ONNX runtime. The decision has been made to remove the TensorRT detector which will allow us to focus on supporting more models and bringing more features to the Nvidia platform through ONNX runtime. Users who were running the TensorRT detector will need to update their configuration to use the ONNX detector, and download a new model. YOLO-NAS or YOLOv9 are recommended as they provide superior performance and accuracy compared to the models supported by TensorRT. Documentation
The go2rtc audio handling has been updated to accept any audio codec instead of only AAC. This makes it easier to get audio from cameras that use PCMA/U audio. However, if the recording ffmpeg preset
preset-record-generic-audio-copy
is currently used it likely will need to be changed topreset-record-generic-audio-aac
to continue to support audio in recordings.Object detection is now disabled by default. A config migrator will update your config globally with
enabled: true
fordetect:
. If you use Frigate with a read-only config, you may need to edit your own config to enable object detection manually.Frigate will no longer fall back to look for a ffmpeg binary in
PATH
. If you are extending the Frigate image or somehow injecting a custom ffmpeg binary in a place like/usr/local/bin
, please read the custom ffmpeg build guide.Home Assistant Add-on users will need to be aware of several important breaking changes. See the Important Notes for Home Assistant Add-on Users section below.
The base image for Frigate has been updated to Debian Bookworm. The Jetpack 4 (
jp4
) and Jetpack 5 (jp5
) images have been removed due to not being compatible with the new base image. A new Jetson Jetpack 6 (jp6
) build has been contributed by a community member.The camera group icon pack has been updated. Some of your camera group icons may need to be re-selected.
The Hailo driver and firmware has been updated to 4.21.0. The standard Docker image now provides Hailo support. If you are using Home Assistant Operating System, version 16.0 is required. Other users will need to update the Hailo driver and firmware on their system using the user installation script.
The ROCm migraphx detector has been removed: Instead of separately supporting ROCm via MigraphX and via ONNX, the ROCm (
rocm
) detector has been removed, and theonnx
detector should be used instead. This change should only require changing thetype: rocm
totype: onnx
indetectors
An additional parameter has been added to
movement_weights
for autotracking users. A config migrator will add the new value so that Frigate starts, but if this fails or you are usingrelative
zooming with autotracking, you should removemovement_weights
from your config and recalibrate.Proxy header mapping for user roles is now required or setting the
default_role
toadmin
is required to achieve the same functionality as previous versions. This version implements a Viewer role, which is now the default for authenticated users without arole
header map defined in the config. If you are using a proxy, you must includeadmin
in your mapped role header in order for admin users to retain their elevated privileges. See the documentation.The
strftime_fmt
config option is now deprecated and will be removed in a future version. The UI will now define time formats based on your language and locale.Some API routes are now protected and require credentials or changes. With the introduction of the Viewer role and the ability to mark review items as reviewed separately per-user, changes may be needed to any services making calls to Frigate's API.
Some users may need to adjust the
tls_insecure
onvif
config if ONVIF PTZ controls were previously working in past versions but fail to work in 0.16. The ONVIF package was upgraded for 0.16, and several users have reported that settingtls_insecure: false
fixed their issues.Important Notes for Home Assistant Add-on Users
For Home Assistant add-on users only
The Frigate config directory for add-on users was changed from the Home Assistant config directory to the add-on config directory. With this change, the Frigate config file and database are now part of the add-on backup taken by Home Assistant, no longer needing to backup them manually. Note that only backups after 0.16 will benefit of this change. If you took a backup of Frigate 0.15 when updating to 0.16, the Frigate config file and database will not be part of it. In that case, you should still backup them manually before updating to Frigate 0.16.
Automatic migration
Upon the first Frigate 0.16 initialization, all Frigate-related files will be moved from the Home Assistant config directory to the Frigate add-on config directory. This will mean these files will no longer be accessible through your Home Assistant
/config
directory. They will now be found in the/addon_configs
directory, which can also be accessed through the Terminal or VS Code add-ons.In the new directory, the Frigate config file will be named config.yml rather than frigate.yml. This aligns with people running Frigate through other means. If you want to move back to Frigate 0.15 and did not backup the config file, you can copy the
config.yml
from the/addons_config
back to/config/frigate.yml
before restoring the add-on. Consider copying back other files as well, like custom model, custom ffmpeg, and custom go2rtc. Note that the database from 0.16 is not compatible with Frigate 0.15 anyway and thus should not be copied back. To restore the database, you must restore it from a manual backup.Moving the config directory between add-on variants
The
/addon_configs
directory contains the config directories of all add-ons. You can move files from one addon config directory to another, like from Frigate Beta to the stable one, or vice-versa. Make sure you do that before uninstalling the add-on, unless you do not select the Also permanently delete this addon's data when uninstalling it.Breaking change
If your Frigate config file refers to any arbitrary files in the Home Assistant config dir, like
echo:/config/
scripts, their references must be manually updated to from/config/
to/homeassistant/
.New Features
Frigate 0.16 introduces several major new features.
Face Recognition
Frigate utilizes face detection and recognition to apply sub-labels to known faces. Recognized faces can be included in built-in notifications and integrated into third-party notifications.
Frigate+ is not required to use Face Recognition. However, using a Frigate+ model (or a custom model that detects
face
natively) enhances efficiency by eliminating the need for separate face detection per person.The accuracy of face recognition heavily depends on the quality of the images used for training. It is highly recommended to follow the training guide to achieve the best results.
Refer to the Face Recognition documentation for more.
License Plate Recognition (LPR)
Frigate detects and recognizes license plates, saving recognized plates to tracked car objects. Known license plates can also be assigned custom labels (e.g.,
AB12345
-->Bob's Car
).Frigate+ is not required for License Plate Recognition. However, using a Frigate+ model (or a custom model that detects
license_plate
natively) improves efficiency by eliminating the need for a separate detection model.For additional features such as regex-based matching, refer to the License Plate Recognition documentation.
Viewer Role
Frigate 0.16 introduces a Viewer role that restricts access to system features, the configuration editor, and the Frigate HTTP API. Viewers have permissions to use the Live view, Review, and Explore.
Additionally, each user can mark review items as reviewed independently so that one user's action will not hide the review items from others.
The Users tab in Settings can be used to create users and assign roles, and these roles are enforced when accessing Frigate through the authenticated port. Documentation
More fine-grained permissions (like denying access to specific cameras, for example) will come in a future version.
Proxies can also now map user roles. See the Proxy configuration documentation.
Improved Support For Object Detection Hardware and Models
Hailo8
The Hailo8 detector has been refactored by the Hailo team to greatly improve object detection performance and to add support for more model types. Documentation
ONNX & OpenVINO
Support has been added for a variety of new models for ONNX and OpenVINO detectors
RockChip (RKNN)
RockChip has had the following improvements:
Camera Improvements
Dynamically Enable and Disable Cameras
Frigate now offers the ability to enable / disable cameras dynamically, including buttons in the UI, MQTT, and using the
camera.turn_on
/camera.turn_off
services in the Home Assistant Integration. Disabling a camera stops all of Frigate's decoding and processing for that camera. See the documentation.Live Stream Selection
Frigate now allows configuring multiple streams per camera, so that any number of streams for a single camera can be created and selected in the UI. See the Live view documentation.
Camera groups now include per-camera settings to further customize the live streaming behavior of that camera in that camera group.
Other noteworthy live streaming improvements:
Other UI Changes
There are many other notable improvements to the Frigate UI:
Ctrl
+ scroll wheel on desktop.i18n Support
Frigate now supports internationalization and localization, making it possible to change the language of the UI. The language is auto-selected based on your browser locale and can also be changed via the Languages menu in the UI.
Some languages are not fully translated. Translation contributions are welcomed and can be made using Weblate.
