It automatically extracts the recording, creates a temporary camera with the same detection settings as the original, and loops the clip through the pipeline so you can observe detections in real time. -Debug Replay isn't intended to be a one-stop pane for all Frigate diagnostics or a comprehensive debugging environment for every Frigate feature.
