This is not a bug. As indicated in the tooltip in the UI, Frigate tracks recording usage based on the information in its database. It does not spin up your disk to keep track of file usage. There are a number of reasons for possible discrepancies, but if the UI is showing no usage, you can safely delete any files in those directories. |

So why would database have incorrect size in? What do I need to check to find out? |

Recordings were never disabled for camera. All camera configs are the same. Flies are timestamped mp4 files. 05.14.mp4 10.43.mp4 16.13.mp4 21.43.mp4 27.14.mp4 32.44.mp4 38.13.mp4 43.43.mp4 49.13.mp4 54.44.mp4 |

The ffprobe output looks fine. You only have a small number of segments for the whole hour. There should be many more if frigate was actually recording on this camera during this time. Edit: apologies, I'm guessing you just didn't post the entire directory listing, which is fine. 17kb seems like a very small video file. Does it actually play any video if you download it and watch it? |

This API output is indicating the database has no recordings stored for several of your cameras. The calculation for this API call is very simple: Line 69 in d0e9bcb This returns

so something must go wrong here: There is no debug what OSError might be causing this though. |

If you can get inside your container, just add: to that portion of the code so you can see what it says. |

Seems like it is not failing on this one.. Will have to look further where it fails. This one never failed for those few CAM's... I'll look further and let you know |

I checked and segments are getting written to the actual storage, but usage is still null |

the best way to debug will be to do a manual query of the database to see what it returns, we can help if needed |

What would you like to get from database? I have executed following query on two cameras, one that shows usage and one that not: Doing the SUM without the size != 0 check would return following:
