[Bug]: Frigate Freezes When Updating Face Image in Face Library

[suntntx]

Checklist

• I have updated to the latest available Frigate version.
• I have cleared the cache of my browser.
• I have tried a different browser to see if it is related to my browser.
• I have tried reproducing the issue in incognito mode to rule out problems with any third party extensions or plugins I have installed.

Describe the problem you are having

When I use the Face Library feature to update (i.e., upload or replace) a face image, the UI hangs indefinitely. Upon inspecting with the browser’s DevTools (F12), I noticed that the register request remains in a pending state and never resolves. Frigate becomes unresponsive after this, and I have to manually restart Frigate to recover functionality.

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to the Face Library.
2. Attempt to update or upload a face image.
3. Observe the register API request stays in "pending".
4. Frigate UI and backend both freeze until a restart.

We can't reproduce this, is this consistently reproducible for you? If so, is it with one particular image or any image?

[hawkeye217]

When another user saw this issue, they saw a crash in the Frigate logs from the embeddings manager process.

Does this happen on every image you upload, or just this specific one?

[suntntx]

I’ve tried not just one picture, but several different ones, and all of them caused the crash. However, I was able to successfully upload and process the same images using the code from commit aef715e, which I built around two weeks ago. So the issue seems to be introduced after that version.

[hawkeye217]

Since we can't reproduce this issue and there are no logs, there's no way for us to know what may be causing it for you. It would be helpful if you could identify the exact build where the issue begins.

[suntntx]

Looks like the issue is something specific to my computer. When I used the exact same image on another machine, everything worked just fine. Very strange behavior… Thank you for taking the time to help and look into the undefined issue. I’ll dig deeper on my end to figure out what might be going on with my setup.

I'm experiencing the same issue. Frigate 0.16.0 beta 3 runs in docker in Proxmox LXC. All works fine until I start uploading face picture. Frigate becomes unresponsive and cameras feeds are gone...
