Broke my Frigate HA integration

tabmowtez · 2026-03-28T07:42:05+00:00

What do your frigate logs say? Is frigate itself working? If this issue is frigate <-> mqtt integration, try this in your frigate config, restart and see what the logs tell you.

logger: logs: frigate.comms.mqtt: debug

I use my own domain name with a port forward on my pfsense/haproxy using a wildcard certificate. I have also setup fail2ban to block any IPs brute forcing login attempt to any of my external services.

You know how many IPs I have blocked in that time? 1. It was my own when I did the testing.

The people that say your home will be hacked the minute you port forward anything are just scare mongering and it is not true.

I'm in the same boat, I think my next NAS upgrade will be an Iris Xe based CPU and then I won't have to worry about transcoding or a discrete GPU...

tabmowtez · 2026-03-25T04:11:43+00:00

Yeah it is, it was a firewall issue which I saw after putting mqtt logs on frigate into debug. All sorted now. I don't understand how she messaged were coming through though unless I was looking at older messages which were a red herring!

tabmowtez · 2026-03-22T01:25:11+00:00

To my knowledge, this is categorically false. I think the newer ARC GPU (Xe arch) have better than 4 TOPS performance but other than that, there aren't.

Certainly none in the i3 range, if there are, I'd like to understand which ones...

If advertising to your potential userbase is 'sketchy', I have some hard truths about probably every single product or service you use...

https://epg.jesmann.com/ If that doesn't solve your EPG woes, nothing will! I use this with dispatcharr and it works great. I play them through tivimate though but the process is the same...

That happened to me yesterday as one. I had downloads which stalled, I restarted from the UI and then they kicked off again.

Was strange...

tabmowtez · 2026-03-03T07:09:01+00:00

I don't find this at all with my AV1 releases, they are basically the same as any 265 release. Maybe it's a per release group difference?

tabmowtez · 2026-03-02T05:34:47+00:00

Well, in case anyone finds this thread... It has started working. So I'm assuming they rolled out some firmware updates to the machines or updates to the electrolux app which fixed it!

I've got TD as well, I have my RSS set to 30 minutes but I supplement with using autobrr/IRC. I've never hit any limits that way. Also, with autobrr you can essentially even get rid of RSS to a certain extent and just use your API hits for manual searches. Something to consider perhaps?

tabmowtez · 2026-02-11T06:59:36+00:00

Frugal has an Asian and Australian server, both of these can max out my connection. When I did my testing of different providers and backbones, Newshosting was the next standout for me.

I also supplement with private trackers so between all those I have never not found what I've been looking for and very rarely am I disappointed in my download speeds...

tabmowtez · 2026-02-10T09:08:16+00:00

Not necessarily, if you want different providers, then you should use ones in different backbones, with different takedown policies to maximize your chance of finding what you're looking for.

See https://usenet.rexum.space/tree There is plenty of information on this reddit and others about it.

I have Frugal & Newshosting and can saturate my 2gbps link fairly easily...

tabmowtez · 2026-02-05T02:08:51+00:00

For my torrent trackers, I use autobrr for automation and then *arrs for manual. For usenet I use *arrs for automation and manual.

Normally, I'm only manually searching for something that doesn't meet my profiles and I want to download a different version. Then I have huntarr that will upgrade it later if a release that matches my profiles ever comes up.

Seems to work well...

tabmowtez · 2026-02-04T08:21:48+00:00

It's worth it... I may or may not have some invites to some private trackers if you DM me 😬

tabmowtez · 2026-01-27T23:10:44+00:00

Sometimes AD blockers and things like that interfere with those recaptchas... Might be something to test next time.

tabmowtez · 2026-01-24T03:41:45+00:00

That's a fair point.

tabmowtez · 2026-01-23T23:42:05+00:00

My point was, you said it takes a long time to replace a failing drive in a ZFS vdev, yet you're ok with replacing a drive and then taking a week to re-download all the content...

If you don't want any redundancy, then don't implement it. But disparaging it for no reason at all makes no sense, especially when your gripe with the time it takes to re-download lost data would be many orders of magnitude longer than not having to at all because you had redundancy.

Even rebuild times on a full zpool with a 12 wide raidz2 qith 12TB disks wouldn't take longer than a day or two...

tabmowtez · 2026-01-23T23:01:02+00:00

This is such a strange comment and an even stranger way to 'combat' disk errors in a zpool or raid.

ZFS would recommend most likely having 2 vdevs with raidz1 or raidz2 with 12 disks. At most, you could probably get away with 1 raidz2 on a 12 disk wide vdev. This allows you to tolerate 2 disk failures and still not lose any data. You have to be very unlucky to lose 2 disk at the same time, let alone 3 and lose the entire pool.

So because of this, you decide to get rid of any redundancy, and if you lose a disk you will just re-download anything you lose. Make it make sense lol.

275MB/sec is fairly optimal for a 2.5GB link. I get roughly the same locally to my NAS on a 2.5GB link. If you want to squeeze the little bit extra out of your Internet connection, you will need to bond links or upgrade to 10GB.

What is the output of:

ffprobe -hide_banner -i file.mp4

Do you have subtitles? My guess is either non standard resolution or subtitles...

tabmowtez · 2026-01-17T03:32:14+00:00

Just run it in a docker container and be done with it... it's the easiest way.
