Edit v2: It might be that you need to add the user running the services ie. root or rpi to the video group.

usermod -a -G video root

[jonerikandersen]

Still having these issues. @Psychopatient Did you fix it?

[jankais3r]

I am having the same issue. At some point, streaming just stopped working (without me changing anything). Snapshots still work fine.

This is my debug log:

[11/16/2019, 11:00:39 PM] [rpi-camera] Video stream stopped

I am also seeing the ffmpeg exited with code 1 errors mentioned in the original post.

[ciavez]

I have the exact same problem... any clue? ???

[ciavez]

anyone that can answer this?

[ciavez]

the point I'm trying to make is that I have NO evidence of any crashing, any additional log, even though I've turned to TRUE the debug mode. it looks like is working from a log perspective but in reality but In reality I get no image

[jankais3r]

Still broken for me. Honestly have not spent much time trying to figure it out.

[stanekam]

I'm having the same issue as well. The odd part is it has occasionally succeeded at streaming the video.

Haven't been crashing for me since iOS 14 Beta. Using homebridge-camera-rpi v0.0.6

[BaRaD5]

I'm having the same issue, at first it worked fine but a day later i installed a new plugin and had to restart since that restart im having the same issue @moritzmhmk help?

EDIT: got to a point where theres no errors at all but home app still shows buffer will update the still image tho

[cliffrowley]

Mine just stopped working for some reason I can't determine.

It worked yesterday, but today I reinstalled my Pi on a new SD card (simply because I am now managing it remotely via ansible and wanted a fresh start) and everything worked just fine except this plugin (same issues as other people - snapshots work, live feed doesn't).

So I put in the old SD card again, and it's still not working..

[leehadassin]

Same boat. Occasionally live stream works, occasionally doesn't. Snapshots are working. Ffmpeg exit code 1. 0.0kb rate shown in logs Using homebridge prebuilt image. Only thing different to plug-in setup it there isn't a homebridge user, just a pi user, which is added to the video group.

[cliffrowley]

I've swiched to homebridge-camera-ffmpeg and foregone the extra features (movement detection etc) and it's working perfectly now, and the video is a lot smoother and works every time. I may come back to this plugin should it get updated, but I'm happy for now.

Do you run it on the same pi? If so, what do you put as the ffmpeg source to get to the local camera? Is it an rstp address?

Edit: I found the settings for the v2 camera source on the ffmpeg tested configurations list - will give it a try.

[moritzmhmk]

Hi, I did switch to the ffmpeg Plugin as well.

I have created a pull request there regarding the addition of a good configuration and the "extra features".

[cliffrowley]

Yep, same Pi - the specific RTSP address will depend on your particular camera. Usually it’s just the port that is different.

EDIT: just realised I'm confusing 2 different plugins here, both of which I had issues with (this being one of them). I should point out that I switched to an IP cam, rather than using the Pi's camera and now use homebridge-camera-ffmpeg.

[jamesy0ung]

Same here. Fresh Install

[will127534]

+1, also fresh install
