Good morning, this is Frigate NVR Updates for Monday, May 6th, 2026.
Three significant updates merged over the weekend. Vespo92 merged a critical face recognition fix that addresses a color format issue in manual detection. The system was incorrectly feeding RGB data to FaceDetectorYN, which expects BGR format, causing detection confidence to drop by roughly ten times and resulting…
NickM-27 merged ROCm optimizations updating the platform to version 7.2.3. The changes include performance improvements for AMD graphics cards, updated inference timing data for the 9060XT, and new environment variables to save LLVM kernels and MIOpen database for faster startup times. Face recognition support has…
Hawkeye217 merged miscellaneous fixes addressing authentication and user interface improvements. The API now returns proper 404 responses when authentication is disabled, object label switches are sorted by locale, search functionality is enabled for object switches, and a documentation link has been added to the…
The face recognition fix is particularly significant as it resolves what appeared to be working functionality but was silently failing to produce training data or proper sub-labels…
Wha…
