Good morning, this is your Frigate NVR update for February 23rd, 2026.
Yesterday, f0ff886f merged pull request 22083, fixing the script for downloading RF-DETR. This change addresses building and downloading issues with the RF-DETR object detection model. The fix required only minor modifications - three additions and three deletions in the object detectors configuration documentation. The pull request received one approval before merging at 14:57 UTC.
The merged changes were committed by Matt Rusiniak, updating the docs/docs/configuration/object_detectors.md file. While the pull request description mentioned "two changes," the specific details of what was broken in the RF-DETR download process weren't fully elaborated in the provided information.
RF-DETR, or Real-time Detection Transformer, is one of several object detection models available in Frigate for identifying objects in video streams. This fix ensures users can properly download and build this detection model without encountering the previous script issues.
What's next:
• Monitor for any follow-up reports on RF-DETR functionality
• Watch for additional object detector improvements or fixes
That's your Frigate development update - we'll be back tomorrow with more changes from the repository.
