Adding RTSP stream to Homebridge

[WEZANGO]

Did anybody managed to add RTSP stream from Yi Hack V4 to homebridge? I can watch the stream through VLC but in HomeKit it's only black screen without any video.

I am using regular sapmle config provided at homebridge ffmpeg plugin wiki

{ "platform": "Camera-ffmpeg", "cameras": [ { "name": "Camera Name", "videoConfig": { "source": "-re -i rtsp://myfancy_rtsp_stream", "stillImageSource": "-i rtsp://myfancy_rtsp_stream", "maxStreams": 2, "maxWidth": 1280, "maxHeight": 720, "maxFPS": 30 } } ] }

@SeydX can you share what you did please?

Are you using Raspberry Pi for that or something else?

So it is an Mqtt plugin. But how did you add camera itself? Actually I already managed to add my camera, but it connects in about 10 secınds and it has really low frame rate, freezes once in a few seconds. I would say it’s because raspberry is not really powerfull, but while watching camera, CPU is loaded only for 20%. I am using x264_omx. Do you have the same issues?

@WEZANGO

Its a ffmpeg (its also possible to use other codecs) plugin with mqtt support designed for the mqtt service which this hack offers

Im using this with a Intel NUC, with the example-config you can find on the main site of the plugin

Do you tried with ffmpeg?

Next version will add also a web interface for the camera to access the stream via http from overall
