First of all, pls dont use both homebridge-camera-ffmpeg AND homebridge-camera-ui
- If you only want to see the cameras in Apple Homekit, choose
homebridge-camera-ffmpeg - If you want to see the cameras in Apple HomeKit AND want a User interface where you can control your cameras, record videos on movement etc etc, choose
homebridge-camera-ui
Second, if you had the cameras on HomeKit before (with homebridge-camera-ffmpeg or anything else), please remove them from HomeKit AND change the name of the cameras in your config.json. Otherwise homebridge will not recognize them as new accessories (therefore you cant add these in apple homekit)
If you managed to make the cameras visible in HomeKit via homebridge-camera-ui pls let me know if the problem still occurs also with camera.ui

hi. first: I am new with all this. so please forgive me if the questions are stupid or on the wrong place.....
I bought the Yi Home 1080p. I then hacked it sucessfully. then I tryied to add them to homebrige: first puzzle: which plugin to use? the yi-homebridge is (as far as I see it) outdated and not working correctly at all.
the Homebridge Camera FFmpeg plugin worked, I could add them in Apple Home, but as soon as I start the camera the error comes up: [h264 @ 0x7f9a04008e00] [error] error while decoding MB 60 29, bytestream -8 and with the camera ui i simply cant see them in homekit. also adding it manually does not work. it simply does nothing.
I am a bit of a loss here. if some has tips or help .... be happy about it.
my current homebridge config. both plugins are on. I tried different prefixes for the rtsp:// .... none worked, and with or without user&password.... { "bridge": { "name": "Homebridge EC52", "username": "XX:3E:XX:4D:XX:52", "port": 51946, "pin": "685-XX-413" }, "accessories": [], "platforms": [ { "name": "Config", "port": 8581, "platform": "config" }, { "name": "eWeLink", "username": "X@X.com", "password": ":-)XX", "mode": "auto", "thDevices": [ { "deviceId": "1000fe0eea", "label": "efígenia water temperature", "minTarget": 1, "maxTarget": 60 } ], "platform": "eWeLink" }, { "name": "Camera FFmpeg", "cameras": [ { "name": "Y1", "manufacturer": "YI", "model": "YI 1080P Home Camera", "serialNumber": "IFUSXXXXXL", "videoConfig": { "source": "-re -i rtsp://master:master@10.0.1.17/ch0_0.h264", "stillImageSource": "-i http:///master:master@10.0.1.17:8080/cgi-bin/snapshot.sh", "maxStreams": 3, "maxWidth": 1280, "maxHeight": 720, "maxFPS": 30, "maxBitrate": 300, "vcodec": "copy", "packetSize": 1316, "audio": false, "debug": false } } ], "platform": "Camera-ffmpeg" }, { "name": "CameraUI", "port": 8181, "atHomeSwitch": true, "theme": "auto", "language": "auto", "debug": true, "mqtt": { "active": false }, "http": { "active": false, "localhttp": false }, "ssl": { "active": false }, "cameras": [ { "name": "Y1", "unbridge": true, "videoConfig": { "source": "-rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://master:master@10.0.1.17/ch0_0.h264", "stillImageSource": " http://10.0.1.17:8080/cgi-bin/snapshot.sh?res=high&watermark=yes", "vcodec": "ffmpeg" } } ], "platform": "CameraUI" } ], "disabledPlugins": [] }
