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

I have recently switched over my notifications to include a clip of the tracked object once a clip is recorder. However, on occasion I have noticed that clip usually stop short when compared to the recording in the Frigate event browser. Attached is the clip from the endpoint https://HA_URL/api/frigate/notifications/<event-id>/clip.mp4 vs the clip in the event browser. Not sure if this is a bug or it's my misunderstanding of a "clip" and a recording in the event browser UI.

More information is needed. There is no "event browser" in 0.15. Are you looking at Review or Explore in the Frigate UI? What is the exact API call you are using to retrieve the clip?

you can currently already do that using https://deploy-preview-13787--frigate-docs.netlify.app/integrations/api/recording-clip-camera-name-start-start-ts-end-end-ts-clip-mp-4-get

In general, the recommendation is to use gifs or previews for notifications rather than large full resolution videos (often times which are limited by the notification server).

Surprisingly sending full res clips <30 seconds has been actually pretty stable but does usually take a beat to load. Was going to limit my notification clips to only show a snapshot when the clips are longer to prevent any issues.
