I have been trying to set hkcam up on a pi zero w. I can ping it fine and ssh in on the same network but it is now showing up in the HomeKit app. Further investigation shows that the video0 file was missing. Therefore I created it. After which I did chmod 777 on it and did chown root:video (the same as all of the other videoXX files. I have also ensured that the camera is enabled using raspy-config. however the following errors are now showing up in the logs and I am not sure where to go from here.

/dev/video0 appears automatically if you have a camera module connected to your Pi zero.
