Hello, and welcome to Frigate NVR Updates for November 12th, 2026.
The pattern today is diagnosability: making AI requests traceable, long maintenance visible, and misconfiguration fail early.
First, traceable AI. Two open proposals, PR 24945 and 24946, would attach Frigate's event ID and review segment ID as headers on every generative description request, across all supported providers. Today those prompts carry no stable correlation ID. For developers running custom proxies, logging gateways, or…
Second, more reliable camera movement. Merged change PR 24935, commit 8a88cef, fixes several autotracking prediction bugs. It corrects movement-time estimates that were scaling the regression intercept incorrectly, and preserves pan and tilt timing when an absolute zoom overwrote it. It also fixes tracking of…
In related reliability work, open PR 24952 would pin debug replay to the main recording stream, and PR 24953 fixes sub-label filtering for non-ASCII names.
Finally, startup safety. Duplicate proposals PR 24950 and 24951 would validate M Q T T TLS options before startup, rejecting an insecure flag set without certificates with a clear error. That combination previously raised an…
