📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

Hi
A couple a weeks ago i added the Frigate NVR with hardware transcoding on my Lenovo Tiny with a i5-14500t with Intel UHD 770.

The problem is that every 12 - 36 hours it crashes my proxmox host. If i Connect a display to the server its just a Black screen with a little blinking White curser in the top left side. It is totally unresponsive. I can´t ssh to the server.
The logs shows nothing.
I have to pull the plug and Connect again to get it up and running.

Sometimes I Can trick it to crash, when Plex transcodes and I get lots of motion in front of my camera. But not always

I have been running Plex on this server for a couple of months without any problem (also created with the community script)

Seems like Frigate somehow crashes the igpu? or that openvino crashes my proxmox host, if my "new" settings without hwaccel and only cpu detector is working?

Proxmox 8.3.2 kernel 6.8.12-5-pve also tried kernel 6.11, but then the crash is within 1 hour.

*The things i have tried:
Disable hwaccel using:
ffmpeg:
hwaccel_args: ''

But its the same, it crashes within 36 hours.

Now for a test until my coral arrives i am running with:
ffmpeg:
hwaccel_args: ''

and cpu detector (without openvino) it it has been running for 12 hours so far without issues, but will see if it lasts

I have found a similar thread here? blakeblackshear/frigate#8470

Any ideas?

Given the other thread is talking about Docker-installs etc, it's possible this is a kernel level thing with the i915 driver, and nothing specific to proxmox or the community scripts project.

What other tread are you referring to? I'm having a similar issue but not with Frigate and I'm trying to narrow down what's causing it.

Yes it is possible, but when I disable hwaccel and uses openvino with Device: CPU then it doesnt use the igpu? In intel_gpu_top there is no ffmpeg or frigate_detect.

the Strange thing is I Can have 8+ 4K hdr to 1080p transcodes in Plex and there is no problem with that?

if you Can guide me I Can try and uninstall / disable the hardware acceleration in frigate LXC and see if it fixes things?

I did face something similar once and increasing the maximum memory (RAM) fixed the issue for me. Maybe you can give that a shot? Otherwise, I think we will need to followup on the Frigate repo as the issue seems to affect people also running the official Docker image

I have 32gb ddr5 in the machine and frigate LXC has 8gb avaliable right now, but only uses around 0.5gb I will try and raise it to 16gb:)

I have also read some where else, that lowering the ram speed a bit fixed the issue. So will try that also.

hwaccel are settings for hardware ffmpeg transcoding, but has nothing to do with openvino witch is specific for AI models.

Intel_gpu_top should rise render activity on détection if you correctly set openvino.

Sometimes frigate ears all the memory and starts to swap heavily blocking the host at 100% CPU. You need to increase ram and reduce pve swappiness.

Moreover, having a pass of fstrim enhances the perfs pf frigate.

Yeah i know.

when i am using openvino i have a frigate_detect show up in the intel-gpu-top. But proxmox host crash within 36 hours)

I have then tried to use CPU with openvino but its the same proxmox crashes within 36 hours.

Now I have removed the detectors from the configfile as a test and so far no crashes, so i wonder of it is openvino that crashes proxmox?

I have given frigate 16gb ram and disabled swap now also

[raverlution]

It has just crashed again. So it has nothing to do with hwaccel or openvino.

Very strange. If I dont start frigate lxc then the server runs for months

You should better ask in the Frigate repo and not here. This dose not seem to be related to the community-scripts.
