Good morning, it's Thursday, October 15th, 2026, and this is Frigate NVR Updates.
The big signal this week is hardening: closing gaps that let authenticated users launch unintended video streams, plus fixes to keep one bad client or one stuck camera from taking down the system.
First, live stream security. Pull request 24658, carried to dev in merge 2b0a69c and commit a3ca874, restricts what video sources can be added through the A P I. Only the parameters the interface and docs actually use are accepted, with quotes, raw inputs and unknown options rejected unless an operator-level…
Second, reliability under failure. Commit 64b0788, from pull request 24659, stops a slow websocket client from blocking publishers. Previously a suspended workstation with an open tab could stall the shared responder thread and hang stats and recording maintenance until the proxy timed out after five minutes. Each…
One open item to watch: pull request 24666 would compare mask coordinates numerically, fixing documented examples written as one point zero zero zero failing to load.
If you maintain custom streams, test them against the new restrictions, and watch capture memory on watchdog resets. That's it…
