Change Birdseye Background Image

[SNR-Tech-Bytes]

Describe what you are trying to accomplish and why in non technical terms
When cameras have no detections, birdseye view just shows the frigate logo in the background. While cool I would love to be able to change that image.

Describe the solution you'd like
Some way of changing the background image in birdseye view

Describe alternatives you've considered
I tried digging for the location of the image to just manually swap it but had little success in finding where the image lived

Additional context
I set up a raspberry pi touchscreen to constantly display birdseye, when the cameras have no detections I want it to be able to show a custom image (or even a slideshow of images) to act like a nice digital photo frame

In the source files, it's in frigate/birdseye.png.

inside the docker container, it's at /opt/frigate/frigate/birdseye.png

you could create a docker volume pointing there, e.g. in docker-compose.yml under volumes:

- /home/pi/custom-image.png:/opt/frigate/frigate/birdseye.png:ro

In my limited testing, the image must be a square, and it must be png of course. any transparent pixels show up as black, and any other color (white, black, etc) become white.

for example I took this image

and it looks like this
