Detection boxes on go2rtc live stream in the Frigate card

[barzag]

Hi,

Thank you for this amazing card! I wanted to ask if it's possible to display detection boxes on the live stream when using the go2rtc provider within the Frigate card? Currently, I don't see the detection overlays when using go2rtc. Is there an option or any planned support for this feature?

Thanks in advance for your help!

No such plans currently.

This might be tricky. Only way I can think of doing this is to use the box parameter from the Frigate events stream to "manually draw" the box on top of the various different live providers (e.g. HA, go2rtc, image). Problems:

• The actual size of the video element may be substantially different from the actual video content in it (e.g. letterboxing / fullscreen has large blank bands in the same video element), so I suspect actually getting these boxes in the correct place may not be possible.
• This would only update every time Frigate updates the MQTT events stream. I'm not sure, but that might mean the boxes don't move as often as you expect.

For reference, is there something in the Frigate UI or elsewhere that you're trying to replicate? Got a screenshot?

I want to replicate the display of the Debug tab in Frigate, but with a live stream like go2rtc, including the detection boxes (person, animal, etc.). I hope I'm clear?
