will not record .

[peter247]

Trying to run frigate on a lower powered computer , but can get it to record .
I've tried use my old set up config.yml but can get it to record anything .
It's made the clips and record directory , which the clips are being saved to , but record directory is blank.

I've found why looking at the logs :-
2022-03-19 17:04:43] ffmpeg.driveway.detect ERROR : Error writing trailer of /tmp/cache/driveway-%Y%m%d%H%M%S.mp4: No space left on device
The video-file.mp4 gets bigger and bigger until it runs out of memory , so it is not making small segments .

Have you triggered any events? You have retain days set to 0 so it isn't going to but anything in the recording directory unless there's an event.

Just saw the logs, you may need to increase the cache size

[peter247]

I made a VM / docker install , used the record lines from someone else's config.yml and it worked first time .
So I'm going to delete the install on docker / bare metal of proxmox use that config file and see if it works.
Testing if I can run 3 cameras on a intel j4125 , 2 x h264 and 1 x h265 camera and that running at around 75% cpu , but I what to get the hardware acceleration.
THE CACHE SIZE , if I set it to 32gb it will just slowly keep increasing until it runs out , I set the cache to 4 times to normal and still get the same problem .

I've found how to get it to working , but not sure why ?
I mounted a second drive to /media/frigate and it worked right away with the same config.yml .
