frigate: [Support]: I keep getting "unable to keep up with recording segments" and my footage skips a lot.

Describe the problem you are having

Per the title Log says “unable to keep up with recording segments”. I don’t remember ever getting this on 0.11. I am getting lots of skips in my recordings. The server is more powerful than the one I was using before, but the HDD is the same. The only difference is the Frigate version. What’s wrong with my config? I enabled G711 audio in my camera’s stream, this is the only difference, but Frigate does not accept it anyway. Even with AAC it doesn’t really work and never has. I tried a lot of different ways/presets. Do I have to completely disable audio in the camera to make this work?
