Thirty-two pull request activity items, twenty-nine additional commits this week. The clearest thread: Frigate is investing in telling users what's actually happening under the hood, from hardware stats to storage to detector crashes.
Start with system health. PR 24178 added a notice registry and a new System Health tab, and hawkeye217 followed up quickly with PR 24188 to refine that pane. Alongside it, PR 24189 now shows how much disk space media sync reclaims, giving storage decisions more context. NickM-27's PR 24150 refactored how hardware…
Reliability work extended into the detection pipeline. PR 24146 stops the watchdog from force-killing a detector process that already recovered from a stuck inference, avoiding unnecessary restarts. PR 24192 guards against a memory allocation crash during graph capture on CUDA-based GPU detection. And PR 24156…
On the media and export side, PR 24193 adds support for choosing which recording stream — main or sub — gets used in exports, with ffprobe checks to compare them. PR 24161 adjusted audio handling in custom exports so they aren't silenced by default the way timelapse…
