Problems with vcodec #82

Closed jpleite closed 3 years ago

Hi Samfox2. Great plugin and great job. I'm not sure if you can help me. I use homebridge on a Synology DS218 docker container and own a Reolink which I had configured in Homebridge Camera FFmpeg using vcodec": "copy. It was working great. However, when using your plugin I can only use "vcodec": "libx264" which is much slower. Compiled a static ffmpeg version for amd64 and included the path but still is not working. Is there any chance I can use your plugin combined with Homebridge Camera FFmpeg so I can still expose a ding dong but use the much fast Homebridge Camera FFmpeg processor? Trying to figure out a way but could not do it

Hi jpleite. Not sure why copy should be slower as it only passes the stream through without any re-encoding. However, think homebridge-ffmpeg does now also support a doorbell-trigger via a http request so you could use this as an alternative.

Hi @Samfox2. Thanks for the help. In fact, homebridge-ffmpeg does the job. Thanks for pointing out
