Good morning, this is your Frigate NVR Updates for May 14th, 2026.

Six pull requests were merged yesterday with significant improvements across hardware acceleration and user interface components.

Nicolas Mowen merged "Improve Intel Stats," implementing per-GPU statistics collection for Intel hardware. This update adds a new intel_gpu_info module and enhances device naming for better monitoring of multi-GPU Intel setups.

Aaron Daubman merged a critical fix for multi-GPU OpenVINO detection in enrichments. The fix resolves an issue where face recognition and semantic search would fall back to CPU-only processing on systems with multiple GPUs, as OpenVINO reports devices as "GPU.0" and "GPU.1" rather than just "GPU."

Josh Hawkins merged two substantial updates. The first implements API access improvements, restricting viewer access to logs and labels while adding role-based filtering for statistics data. The second contains miscellaneous fixes including improved scroll handling, profile array override corrections, and better configuration management with new override badges for cameras and profiles.

ZhaiSoul merged internationalization fixes addressing embedding time locales and settings translations. The update improves text display across multiple UI components and configuration sections.

YDKK merged a small but important fix for ReviewTimeline zoom tooltip text, correcting the display labels for zoom in and zoom out functions.

What's next: These changes improve hardware utilization efficiency and user access control. The Intel GPU monitoring enhancements will provide better insights for optimization.

That's your Frigate NVR update for today.
