[Bug]: Floodlight Camera (T8420) won't stream in Home app

[fullphat]

What happened?

Floodlight camera won't stream in Home app, but if I extract the RTMP details from the HomeBridge log, it works in VLC.

Is there anything I can do to fix it, or this a bug with how the plugin is talking to ffmpeg?

Hello,

I wonder if this can help : https://github.com/samemory/homebridge-eufy-security/issues/284#issuecomment-981137804 (I don't know how to do it to test)

[fullphat]

Happy to test if someone could push this out as 1.0.7?

[fullphat]

Still not working in 1.0.8 unfortunately - also the rtmp stream that appears in the log doesn't load on VLC on MacOS.

Please provide logs.

Think I've fixed it. In streamingDelegate.js around line 353, if you force vcodec to be copy then the stream works in the Home app.

Will be fixed in https://github.com/samemory/homebridge-eufy-security/issues/321
