No Response when trying to view camera #1

Closed dmcgrew closed 6 years ago

dmcgrew commented 6 years ago

I just installed this and I think it’s almost working. I can see a static image of my camera in homekit but when I tap on it homekit says No Response. I am running homebridge on a Pi Zero. I noticed that when I try to view the camera that my Pi’s CPU usage goes to 100%. When I close the Home app the CPU usage goes back down to like 5%. Is it possible that the Pi Zero is too weak to run this? I’m guessing there’s some video processing going on with ffmpeg and that might be a little too much for my little Zero to handle.

Yeah, Raspberry Pi’s CPU is too weak to handle transcoding properly. I’ll try to push an update later today to offer an option to use OMX hardware acceleration on Raspberry Pi.

Ok cool. Check out this comment on Reddit too.. https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeKit/comments/7fncev/nest_cams_finally_have_a_homebridge_plugin_use/

Alright, 0.0.3 has the OMX option now. You may need a special ffmpeg to use that.
