[Bug]: ERROR: FFmpeg process creation failed: spawn ffmpeg ENOENT 'camera name'

What happened?

ERROR: FFmpeg process creation failed: spawn ffmpeg ENOENT

I get this error on all of my cameras. I am currently running homebridge on an M1 Mac Mini using MacOS Monterey.

I have tried to install ffmpeg by installing homebrew (brew install ffmpeg) as well as from ffmpeg.org. Perhaps I am not installing it to the correct directory? I have the Eufy Security Plugin debug turned on and it is running an ffmpeg -1 command to https://zhixin-security-pr.s3.us-west-2.... right before throwing the error. I didnt copy the whole line as it looks like it is trying to access my eufy feed.

Device Type

Indoor Camera (Supported)

Plugin Version

v1.0.x (Supported)

HomeBridge Version

v1.3.x (Supported)

NodeJS Version

v16 (Supported)

Operating System

Mac OS X

I removed "User-Agent": "okhttp/3.12.1 using terminal but am still getting "ERROR: FFmpeg process creation failed: spawn ffmpeg ENOENT Cam name"

Any other suggestions? Switch to Beta?

I am using the IndoorCam2k which has native Homekit support but makes me lose Eufy Cloud features. I wasnt ready to commit to Apple HomeKit as my primary security cam service but maybe that is the route I should go to make this easier. Any thoughts?
