What settings to put in stream #1

I've got it running and I was able to add the camera to my iOS device but when I touch the black window to see the camera it crashes, I assume because I don't the the proper stream in the config. "source": "-re -i rtsp://myfancy_rtsp_stream", <-----WHAT SHOULD I USE HERE?

I already installed FFMPEG on my macbook.

Are you trying to use this plugin or do you mean the config for the other plugin(homebridge-camera-ffmpeg)?

I'm trying to test this plugin on my raspberryPi to show the camera of my MacBook. Eventually I want to be able to show one of my cameras from my camera system. I'm going to be using a DoorBird doorbell IP camera. I need to figure out the rtsp stream link for that eventually. I installed FFMPEG on the MacBook and installed this plugin on the Pi. Maybe I misunderstood what to do?

Aha, that's what you mean… This plugin expects you run the homebridge on your Mac since it tries to pull the video stream directly from iSight Camera on your Mac. It will not work if you install this plugin on a Raspberry Pi.

OK now that makes sense why it's not working I will install the other plug-in on my raspberry Pi and try a RTSP link from a regular IP camera for testing.
