[Config Support]: Inconsistent clip updates.

[WolfeCub]

Describe the problem you are having or the outcome you are trying to achieve.

Clips usually don't seem to update/display in the notification. Occasionally they'll work but I mostly just see the snapshot.

Before using this blueprint I had my own automation that featured a 10 second delay and there were no issues. I noticed the beta version docs say there's a 10 second delay before the final message however looking at the code/traces link here it seems to only be 5 seconds? Would it be possible to make this configurable?

I suspect the delay is the problem but not 100% sure. Let me know if there's anything else I should try.

Just to further confirm my theory I tested a fork https://github.com/WolfeCub/HA_blueprints/commit/ffd0646c9fb44fe4b5fe3ee73ce86ec3e4d67875 where I upped the delay to 10 seconds and the clips started working consistently. Ideally this would be a user configurable parameter. Would you be open to me making a PR?

Would you be open to me making a PR?

Yes please make one to the stable branch. Beta branch has jsut been merged into it and i plan to update it for new version of frigate, Once that happens and i ultimately forget to add this into the beta, please make another one for that. Thank you so much
