Electric Eel update - Frigate not working anymore - issue with USB Coral Edge TPU?

Apps and Virtualization
1

Hey there,
is anyone else experiencing issues with the Frigate app running on Electric Eel?
It worked smoothly for me on Dragonfish before. I am using a (Google) Coral Edge TPU USB device for detection purposes.
After the update to EE, Frigate almost always complained about not being able to find the TPU device at startup. In the rare cases it worked at startup, Frigate stopped working after some time.
Since the update to 24.10.0.2 not a single attempt succeeded anymore.
I checked the USB device then under Electric Eel and it seems to be unstable:

The above was before (22:41) and after (22:59) I successfully checked the Coral USB device on a different machine running the most recent Proxmox and plugged it in again in my TrueNAS EE machine. Not sure whether it

I have decided to rollback to Dragonfish yesterday and I am on the last version now I had before I upgraded to EE, which is 24.04.2.1
Everything is working fine again.

Has anyone an idea or is experiencing similar issues?
Of course Iā€™d prefer to go back to 24.10. when I can.

What did you enter during Frigate app setup under the USB settings?
Host device and container device?
New to Docker.
Thanks

Update, got it working. Upgrade from DF to EE. Had Frigate config set to a hostpath. This had the Coral added in the config. After upgrade, Frigate config defaulted back to ixVolume, this did not have the Coral configed.
