No camera view #63

Hello! I just installed the plugin and connected my camera to the raspi, physically. The thing is, I don't get any error from Homebridge, but the camera is shown as unresponsive on Homebridge. No image, even if on the homebridge log it says "snapshot taken" Any suggestion? Thanks!

Try using the $ raspistill -o cam.jpg to see if the cam is working, if so, then it's probably a permissions problem with hombridge and the plugin.

There's seems to be a problem with permissions. You can try $ sudo chmod 777 /dev/video0 but is not a permanent solution because when the rpi reboots it will change back to the defaults permissions.

Then you should try $ sudo usermod -aG video homebridge which did the trick for me.

Btw, I found the solution at issue #35

Hope it helps!
