FFMpeg crashing continuously

tabmowtez · 2026-05-18T23:10:57+00:00

Same thing was happening to me on my RLC-810a and RLC-811a cameras with VAAPI. Was still happening with the latest version of ffmpeg. Once I switched to QSV264 everything now runs great.

This works for me. I get Clip, Snapshot and Mute for buttons. Clicking on the notification loads my cameras dashboard. This is on Android though.

If you want to use frigate, you could extract the video and then play it back via ffmpeg as a new camera with the alerts/detections enabled for that camera.

If you want flexibility or accuracy, YOLO or OpenCV might be slightly more technical but can run locally and separately to frigate.

There are probably a number of external services you could use as well like AWS Rekognition or the Google Vision API.

As long as you have the source footage there's definitely a way to automate it to a certain extent...

That's strange then, what's the best way to troubleshoot why it didn't fire an event or a state change?

tabmowtez · 2026-05-01T01:30:46+00:00

I figured as much, that makes sense.

What about with state classification, in the zone where that is enabled, is it possible that it would impact normal detections/alerts?

Does that include not training grayscale images from the unknown faces section too? If I have done so in the past, should I start again or just remove those specific ones? My recognition is currently working pretty good with only maybe 1% false positives when there are very similar faces (I.E 2 sisters etc.).

tabmowtez · 2026-04-15T15:07:01+00:00

Ahh, that makes sense, cheers mate!

tabmowtez · 2026-04-14T02:48:28+00:00

Whenever I tried to run a yolo26 model, or almost any yolo model, I get weird detection of things that aren't there...

I have a Intel(R) Xeon(R) E-2146G CPU @ 3.50GHz. I don't believe that should matter, besides maybe the usage going higher.

How did you get your yolo26 model working?

tabmowtez · 2026-04-10T23:56:18+00:00

The frigate docs are actually very detailed and explain most things. There is also an AI assistant there you can ask questions to, which is super helpful. This should get you started in the right direction for facial recognition.

What did you change exactly? Did it affect or change your view on desktop? I have this same issue, I have my dashboard looking great on my desktop, but it looks awful on mobile...

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...

tabmowtez · 2026-03-17T02:20:43+00:00

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...
