This error is usually is a result of indentation/spacing or invalid keys. Check the docs again, you'll want to copy exactly what's there:

After another look at your log, it appears you may not be running Frigate 0.15.

The error messages you are seeing are expected if you are on the previous stable version.

You should re-pull your Docker container. Be sure to also read the release notes for 0.15:

https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/releases/tag/v0.15.0

[Jleagle]

Ah thanks! Looks like I last upgraded a few hours before that release 🙄 And I just assumed i had it.

After the update, my feed no longer works, can't see any relevant breaking changes in the release? Getting lots of 'no frame!' in the logs etc, any ideas?

[hawkeye217]

Great!

You'll want to see the breaking changes in the release notes I linked above.
