OpenVINO detector not starting (no logs, no errors) on 0.17.1 #22738
-
Describe the problem you are havingI'm trying to run OpenVINO detection on Frigate (stable / 0.17.1), but the detector never starts and there are no errors or warnings in the logs. Environment OpenVINO imports successfully inside the container - this executes with no output: Model - Using OpenVINO IR model: The model loads and is readable inside the container. XML header: Config model: cameras: What happens BUT: No detector process is started What I’ve tried For all of these combinations the detector never starts. Below is a log that shows more info. Can anyone explain what conditions cause Frigate to silently skip starting the OpenVINO detector? Is this model incompatible, or is there a required model format / config that I’m missing? Thanks for you help. root@frigate:/opt/frigate# docker compose down root@frigate:/opt/frigate# mqtt: detectors: model: cameras: record: version: 0.17-0 root@frigate:/opt/frigate# Version0.17.1-416a9b7 What browser(s) are you using?Firefox 149.0 Frigate config fileauth:

Based on your Frigate stats output, your OpenVINO detector is actually running and working correctly. The stats show: "detectors":{"ov":{"inference_speed":22.23,"detection_start":0.0,"pid":567}}This indicates:
