Good morning, this is your Frigate NVR update for May 10th, 2026.

Ryzendigo merged a fix for a debug logging issue in the media utility module. The problem was in the remove_empty_directories function where a debug log statement was missing the f-string prefix, causing the count placeholder to display literally as "{count}" instead of showing the actual number of directories…

The fix was straightforward - converting the debug log call from a regular string to an f-string so the directory count gets properly substituted in the output. This affects the media cleanup process logging, ensuring administrators can properly track how many empty directories are being removed during maintenance…

The change touched only one line in the frigate/util/media.py file and received one approval before merging.

What's next: This logging improvement will help with debugging cleanup operations and monitoring system maintenance. Watch for additional logging enhancements as the project continues improving observability.

That's your update. We'll be back tomorrow with more Frigate development news.
