[Support]: All cameras 'no frames received' from firgate front end

[alkissack]

Describe the problem you are having

After running fine for the last week or so, this moring I awoke to see 'No frames received...' message on all cameras. I restarted, no change, I restarted the docker container, no change. I resorted to rebooting the underlying system (linux) and all came back. Just wondering what might have cuased this given that things were running so smooth. All advice welcome - thanks

The “No frames received…” message means Frigate’s ffmpeg process was unable to get video frames from your cameras within the expected time window, so it restarted the stream capture. This can happen for several reasons, including network issues, camera firmware hiccups, hardware resource exhaustion, or temporary glitches in the decoding pipeline(1)(2).

A full system reboot restoring normal operation suggests the issue might have been resource exhaustion (CPU, memory, or hardware acceleration) or something causing the ffmpeg processes to hang and not recover automatically(2). Check your system’s resource usage (CPU, RAM, disk IO) and hardware acceleration settings. For Intel GPUs, ensure the proper driver is set with the LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME environment variable (either iHD or i965 depending on your hardware)(2).

If this recurs, check Frigate’s logs for ffmpeg or hardware errors during the outage window. You can also try increasing shared memory (shm_size) if you're running many high-resolution cameras, as low shared memory can cause instability(2).

More details on Frigate’s architecture, troubleshooting, and resource calculation are available here:

The AI is correct here.

There's no way to know what truly happened without more logs. If the issue recurs, grab your go2rtc logs and screenshots of the metrics pages.
