Quick guide: Frigate camera snapshot in MJPEG widget

[Hackashaq666]

Want to share since I just learned that Frigate's API has url's for live mjpeg stream and latest jpg.

The mjpeg works but is cpu intensive, however the jpg works nicely to give a thumbnail snapshot in the homepage MJPEG widget.

Example url to use in MJPEG service widget as jpg:
https://YOUR_FRIGATE_URL/api/YOUR_FRIGATE_CAMERA_NAME/latest.jpg

Example url for mjpeg stream in MJPEG service widget:
https://YOUR_FRIGATE_URL/api/YOUR_FRIGATE_CAMERA_NAME

My frigate server is proxied using linuxserver SWAG (nginx) so I don't specify the port in the url and use https instead of http, YMMV.
