[04/01/2024, 23:18:42] [tapo-camera] [TAPO C200] Failed to fetch snapshot.

[mrtargaryen]

I have ffmpeg installed on my Raspberry Pi 4 (11, Bullseye)

I have Homebridge installed.

Furthermore, I have the Homebridge-tapo-camera plugin installed.

And these are the error messages I am receiving:

[04/01/2024, 23:18:42] [tapo-camera] [TAPO C200] Failed to fetch snapshot.

I'm assuming it's a problem with the camera or a problem with the plugin.

Any help is appreciated.

Did you install https://github.com/Sunoo/homebridge-camera-ffmpeg#readme too? Try it.

Thanks for the reply, I have the same problem when using this plugin (homebridge-camera-ffmpeg), snapshot failed. I have no idea what to do. I've asked in several places, and you're the only person to reply.
