I guess ffmpeg would need to be installed

MichaIng commented 1 month ago

I saw errors like this as well, but HA worked well. They added a lot of dependencies, unnecessary for the majority of users 🤔. The test installations via GitHub workflow from few days ago did start up and HA was listening on it's port at least. But will do one in a local VM to test.

Yep, that's weird. Anyway, sudo apt install ffmpeg solved the issue and all It's working fine now.
