Cannot see clips or recordings in Home Assistant non .io version

[meteosat007]

I have this release which runs fine and detects and sends snapshots into HA, sends in events etc too.

I use docker file below to run with local paths for media and these are empty apart from the frigate.db in the clips folder.

docker run --rm --name frigate --privileged --mount type=tmpfs,target=/tmp/cache,tmpfs-size=100000000 -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb -v /home/pi/frigate/clips:/media/frigate/clips -v /home/pi/frigate/recordings:/media/frigate/recordings -v /home/pi/frigate/config:/config:ro -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -e FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD='meteosat007' -p 5000:5000 -p 1935:1935 blakeblackshear/frigate:0.8.0-beta1-aarch64

I can see MQTT events going out but no clips or recordings.

I see no errors with debug and info on the ffmpg streams.

Have searched open issues and Google but nothing pops up. So I look to your guidance.

You don't have the clips or record roles assigned to an input.

Do you have any documentation that lists the possible options as despite readings many threads and the info on your GitHub pages would never have seen that one. Works fine now, so any docs will help prevent further issues and annoyance to you. Love it and keep up the good work. When my Jetson Nano comes back from repair I will try this on that device with the correct version of course. Thanks again Alan

I did add a warning message for the next beta, and I will include this with a bunch of other clarifications in the docs.

Thanks as not complaining as I know that docs take time and prevent progress with the fun stuff. Alan

Uhm... I added roles. still no joy

@dvbit can you open a new issue and provide the information in the template so I can help figure out your issue?

[dvbit]

Hello hello,
Me dumb user. twice.
No role in camera specific configuration.
Please do highlight that roles have to be specified both in general and camera specific configs.

Thanks for the wonderful job.

Can you share how you set roles up in general? I am have added the roles to my camera but still no recordings.

Hass.io Media Folder from remote Unraid Server

Configuration.yaml should contain the following, The folder /media can be replaced by /mnt/media in both instances if you have other integrations that rely on media.
The media source is not required if the "defualt_config:" is raised in the configuration.yaml.

homeassistant:
    media_dirs:
      media: /media
media_source:
shell_command:
  mount_cctv_media_folder: mkdir -p /media;mount -t cifs -o username=USER,password=PASSWORD,domain=WORKGROUP //tower.local/Media /mnt/media

the output of the /media should look like this:

/media/
  |->frigate
      |-> clips
      |-> recordings

So you should have joy checking your /media folder with the data if you use ssh, and then you should enable the media_dirs: and media_source: , i think my error is due to running hass for so long allready that i dont have the standard settings that a newly installed yaml file includes.
