Livestream working in Camera.Ui but not in HomeKit

[norb-HB]

Hi seydx,

great plugin - thanks a lot for your work!

I have a few cams and all working great but my Aldi/Maginon cams. I seem to have the same issue as the guy in https://github.com/seydx/homebridge-camera-ui/issues/490. However the solution seem not to apply to my setup. I fiddled around for quite a long time and never could get the livesteam in HK working. Only in CameraUI.

I'd appreciate if you could give me a hint or maybe another user with the same cams.

Live feed works perfectly in the camera.ui but not in Home. I'm using a Wyze Cam V2 and running into:

## I open the live stream in Home app
[23/11/2022, 14:38:37] [CameraUI] Home Cam: Starting video stream: native
[23/11/2022, 14:38:39] [CameraUI]  ERROR  Home Cam: FFmpeg exited with code: 1 and signal: null
## I close the live stream in Home app
[23/11/2022, 14:38:39] [CameraUI] Home Cam: Stopped video stream.

Using the following config:

                {
                    "name": "Home Cam",
                    "motion": true,
                    "motionTimeout": 15,
                    "unbridge": true,
                    "hsv": false,
                    "prebuffering": true,
                    "prebufferLength": 4,
                    "videoConfig": {
                        "source": "-i rtsp://xxx:xxx@192.168.x.x/live",
                        "subSource": "-i rtsp://xxx:xxx@192.168.x.x/live",
                        "stillImageSource": "-i rtsp://xxx:xxx@192.168.x.x/live",
                        "rtspTransport": "tcp",
                        "maxStreams": 1,
                        "vcodec": "copy",
                        "acodec": "libfdk_aac",
                        "packetSize": 188,
                        "maxFPS": "30",
                        "audio": true,
                        "debug": true
                    },
                    "smtp": {
                        "email": "Home Cam"
                    },
                    "videoanalysis": {
                        "active": false
                    },
                    "mqtt": {}
                }

@seydx any idea what's going on?

Fixed it by disabling audio!

                {
                    "name": "Home Cam",
                    "motion": true,
                    "motionTimeout": 15,
                    "unbridge": true,
                    "hsv": false,
                    "prebuffering": true,
                    "prebufferLength": 4,
                    "videoConfig": {
                        "source": "-i rtsp://xxx@192.168.x.x/live",
                        "subSource": "-i rtsp://xxx@192.168.x.x/live",
                        "stillImageSource": "-i rtsp://xxx@192.168.x.x/live",

                        "debug": true
                    },
