This change adds first-class adaptive recording playback using main and sub recording variants. Frigate can now store multiple recording variants per camera, expose those variants through the recordings API, and serve variant-specific VOD playlists through routes such as /vod/variant/sub/....
The UI now uses the available recording variants and browser playback capability to choose an appropriate playback source, with a user-selectable Auto, Main, and Sub preference. This is applied across timeline playback, export preview, and object detail playback.
The backend also includes a fallback path for sub playback: when a native sub recording is not available for a requested time range, Frigate can generate a lower-resolution sub recording from the main segment, store it under the standard sub variant, and mark it with transcoded_from_main.
Additional changes include recording metadata for codec, resolution, bitrate, and variant; database migrations for recording variants and generated-sub tracking; tests for variant VOD selection and fallback behavior; improved storage graph sorting; and a small MQTT TLS guard so tls_insecure is only applied when TLS is configured.
Substream Configuration Examples
Record the main stream as the normal full-resolution recording and also record the camera substream as the sub variant:
cameras:
front_door:
ffmpeg:
inputs:
- path: rtsp://user:password@192.168.1.10:554/main
roles:
- record
record_variant: main
- path: rtsp://user:password@192.168.1.10:554/sub
roles:
- detect
- record
record_variant: sub
detect:
width: 640
height: 360
fps: 5
record:
enabled: true
Using go2rtc restreams:
go2rtc:
streams:
front_door:
- rtsp://user:password@192.168.1.10:554/main
front_door_sub:
- rtsp://user:password@192.168.1.10:554/sub
cameras:
front_door:
ffmpeg:
inputs:
- path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/front_door
input_args: preset-rtsp-restream
roles:
- record
record_variant: main
- path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/front_door_sub
input_args: preset-rtsp-restream
roles:
- detect
- record
record_variant: sub
detect:
width: 640
height: 360
fps: 5
record:
enabled: true
If record_variant is omitted on a record input, it defaults to main. Each camera can only use a given recording variant once, so the main and sub recording inputs should use distinct variant names.

This is the Frigate frontend which connects to and provides a User Interface to the Python backend.
Web Development
Installing Web Dependencies Via NPM
Within /web, run:
npm install
Running development frontend
Within /web, run:
PROXY_HOST=<ip_address:port> npm run dev
The Proxy Host can point to your existing Frigate instance. Otherwise defaults to localhost:5000 if running Frigate on the same machine.
