Good morning, this is your Frigate NVR Updates for March 24th, 2026.
Yesterday saw significant activity with nine merged pull requests focusing on GPU compatibility and development improvements. NickM-27 merged several hardware-related updates, including support for RDNA4 AMD GPUs in ROCm and a strategic CUDA version downgrade to address overaggressive memory allocation issues with the Best Fit with Coalescing allocator. The team also improved hardware acceleration configuration in the UI, with better labeling for presets and hardware-based filtering.
Hawkeye217 contributed major internationalization workflow enhancements, adding automated i18n key checking to the pull request workflow and implementing extraction tools for translation management. The same author also added a verbose mode to Media Sync, which now generates detailed reports showing orphaned media paths by type in the config directory.
Additional improvements include various API fixes addressing preview handling and schema cleaning, plus documentation updates covering DEIMv2 detector support. Web dependencies received their regular updates, with notable version bumps for axios, konva, and several React-related packages.
The development workflow got more robust with automated translation key validation, while users benefit from better GPU support across both NVIDIA and AMD hardware platforms.
What's next: The expanded GPU compatibility should improve performance for users with newer AMD hardware, while the enhanced media sync reporting will help administrators identify and clean up orphaned files more effectively.
That's your update for today. We'll be back tomorrow with more Frigate development news.
