Hey everyone. I have running the official ix Frigate app on TrueNAS-SCALE-23.10.1 so I had everything working great, video was coming in on all cameras and recording and doing motion detection. This morning I went to look at the system as I was still tweaking some settings and now all my cameras feeds are saying "No frames have been received, please check error log" I have tried restarting the service on the Frigate app but only rebooting the service form TrueNAS app page seems to bring the cameras back. I cant figure out why it would loose connection to all my cameras at once. Curious as I can see this happens to others also but there seems to be no solution to this so I am just adding that it is happening to me also. Any help would be appreciated I cannot seem to get the old logs as once i rebooted the service the logs page only shows logs since the last service start here is a copy of my config with username and password : out ` detectors: ffmpeg: detect: record: snapshots: birdseye: cameras: Deck: Driveway: HouseFront: Baby: |

Thanks for the response.. Yes they are timing out. I was able to get that from the logs but how is this possible that they work fine for 3 days and now all of a sudden they are timing out. They are eufy cameras and they work perfectly fine with the app and on my Synology box. I can also open these streams on VLC with no issues I need to know why they are timing out all of a sudden when nothing has changed. and all my cameras all of a sudden. seems like a frigate bug or setting not my cameras or network. |

Assuming they're wifi cameras could be a WiFi issue. This wouldn't be a Frigate bug, timeout error is a clear and direct problem |

Well it was a frigate issue and NOT a time out issue.. It turns out that the cache was set to 16MB and it should have been 256MB based on the calculation page. After I rebuilt the server from scratch this solved it with the exact same config. So not a wifi or connection issue, frigate configuration issue so far that I can tell. All the cameras were working from VLC and could view stream on each camera for like 30 min. |

it is possible that some other issue was resolved when restarting, the logs showing timeout are clear and direct, it is not as though a cache issue would cause ffmpeg to think the stream timed out.
VLC connects to cameras using udp not tcp so it can not be directly compared. Frigate can be configured to use udp but does not by default. |

I'm not sure I didn't change anything on Wifi but they all seem to be working and I have the same config. I'll chalk it up to something ! |

So it makes no sense that he Cameras page shows errors but then i can click on a camera and it will show it.. its all over the place and makes no sense why I am getting these errors. Again this was working with no issues for the last 3 days. I comments out my config anythign extra and same issue.. I am using Eufy cameras if that matters |
