Hello, you're listening to Frigate NVR Updates for October 11th, 2026.
This week's work centers on reliability: Frigate now warns you sooner when the system is overloaded, and fixes several crashes and failed exports that previously required a restart or left jobs spinning.
First, overload visibility. Pull request 24619 adds a system notice when frames back up in the tracked object processor, which happens when a CPU is undersized for the camera load. The notice is launched in a background thread so alerting doesn't add more delay. Paired with that, pull request 24631 adds a notice and…
Second, pipeline correctness and performance. The same fixes bundle, 24631, addresses exports, recordings, and classification. Long picture-in-picture style exports that combine main and sub streams are now staged in the exports folder instead of temporary cache, preventing out-of-space failures on large jobs, with…
Autotracking gets both a crash fix and a speedup in 24633. Rebuilding trackers when autotracking settings change prevents a missing-tracker error that killed the camera process until restart, and correcting tracker selection restores score history. Cropping before color conversion cuts…
