yea. I just put the stock homebridge video accessory in place and it appears to go rogue. I've noticed this behavior myself and hoping that once I get back to liveview implementation I'll clean that up too.
Is this related perhaps? I see a preview of the camera as expected:
But if i click on the thumbnail, i get this:
no, the preview is a thumbnail (jpg) that uses different apis. It's the live camera delegate that is spawning and not tracking the ffmpeg process. The code that's in there is completely temporary

Understood. Happy to test subsequent versions.
liveview is still not ready, but I think the zombie ffmpeg bug is at least fixed in the interim.
Thanks for the update. A minor glitch: I have the privacy switch hidden, but am getting the privacy mode image for two of the cameras, which maybe not coincidentally are the ones that aren't armed. I am seeing the preview for one camera, which is also one that's armed.
not sure it properly worked in the first place. now fixed. live view now works as well
I just tried it out and wow, works great! Thanks for your efforts!
oh wow @colinbendell do you by any chance have a paypal account? I would really love to buy you a couple of beers
Live view working well it seems for v3.5.13. Previews on the Home
page of the Home
app working well also, including thumbnail updates.
First off, excellent work on this Plugin Colin, it's great!
I just wanted to drop a message on here to say that each time a camera is clicked in the home app, an ffmpeg process is launched on my mac mini & it thrashes the CPU. Is there a way to have these processes kill themselves?
Cheers!

I've overhauled some of the ffmpeg logic. more needs to be done. but it should address all the major issues with ffmpeg running for long periods of time.
I noticed this morning that three ffmpeg processes were left running. Sorry, I don't have any details about how that happened. That was with version 3.5.5 though, so maybe no longer a problem.
