Support needed: clips role is not valid

[gmrandom]

Describe the bug Whenever adding the "clips" role to any of my cameras, the frigate container fails to start because of a config parsing error (error message below). I tried adding a clips top-level block, as well as adding it as a role to my cameras, and the config file parsing fails in both instances.

Is the install config documentation up to date? I appreciate any help with this.

          ^^^ # clips-role is commented out

Hi @ozett are you suggesting to comment out the clips role? That would parse, but I am trying to make clips work. The documentation here https://blakeblackshear.github.io/frigate/configuration/cameras/ suggests that "clips" is a valid role.

Hey,

please read the release notes of the 0.9 beta version carefully: https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/releases

BREAKING: Clips have been merged into Recordings

Your container logs say: value is not a valid enumeration member; permitted: 'record', 'rtmp', 'detect' [...] So it clearly states that 'clips' is not a valid config option anymore.

The documentation you mentioned is written for the current stable version, which you're not using.

Thanks for the link, @fbcd4f50ea5350f051450323b5abfd0b

I was sure there had to be a deprecation notice somewhere but could not find it. It would be nice to tag the official documentation as obsolete, for other folks that will run into the same.

Resolving.
