I've migrated my homebridge server over to MacOS and can't get this plugin to function. It's most likely a path issue to chromium browser, can't seem to get it to add the camera. I've tried setting the path to: /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome but nothing appears when trying to add an accessory.

I was able to solve this issue. The problem i was facing was two fold:

1 I had another Homebridge instance running on my network with the homebridge-website-to-camera plugin. Looks like the home app could not see the new instance until i remove the plugin from my old homebridge setup.

2 I installed chromium on my Mac and pointed the path to:

/Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium

Everything works as expected now.
