You might want to set up a half dozen cameras with different configs so you have a bigger sandbox to play in instead of constantly changing the one and reloading, waiting a minute, changing, reloading, waiting, etc.

Thanks bud, i'll try them out.. but i'm pretty damn convinced that homebridge-camera just isn't loading correctly.. otherwise in the startup log i'd expect to see something loading as an accessory:
- Code: Select all
[07/12/2016, 21:33:43] Initializing Camera-ffmpeg platform...
[07/12/2016, 21:33:43] Loading 0 accessories...
[07/12/2016, 21:33:43] Camera1 is running on port 58208.
I'm suspecting something iffy with the ffmpeg install as when i originally installed it it took forever but reinstalling seems to take only a couple of mins. I'm also confused about a duplicate module for homebridge-envisalink that's somehow installed. Might try setting it all up in a virtual macOS install at the weekend and see if behaves any better there!

Nope, that is correct for the log, mine shows the same thing and I'm working just great:

Oh oh oh. (It's magic!)
Damn.. well that's misleading! I'll try the different urls then (oh and just for reference this foscam isnt rtsp, when I was talking about that before that was in relation to newer PITA cheapo onvif cameras. I just fished out the old foscam for testing purposes as I thought getting its URL correct would be easier

OH MY GOODNESS I GOT IT WORKING!
In case anyone else has the issue.. it was ffmpeg. Uninstalled it, ran the command "find . -type d -name ‘ffmpeg’ -print -exec rm -rf {} \;" in the terminal to remove all directories relating to it, then reinstalled.. now it's showing up in the home app.
Thanks for all your help C4W. Now i know the configuration is working i just need to work out the appropriate URL for the onvif cameras.. but that should be easier now!

Seems to that I don't have that luck i'm afraid.
Configured everything correctly (I think).
Link for my foscam is this one:
- Code: Select all
"platform": "Camera-ffmpeg",
"cameras": [
{
"name": "Foscam",
"videoConfig": {
"source": "-re -i http://192.168.80.113/cgi-bin/CGIStream.cgi?cmd=GetMJStream&usr=admin&pwd=xx",
"stillImageSource": "-i http://192.168.80.113/snapshot.cgi?user=admin&pwd=xx",
"maxStreams": 2,
"maxWidth": 160,
"maxHeight": 320,
"maxFPS": 30
}
I can add the Accessory and I see that the camera is there, but I'm afraid it's not working:
Anyone has any idea?
Regards

Try going to
this site and search your model number, try all the varying iterations and see if that gets you to a solution. I have a gaggle of Foscams and with the exception of one they are all working great - and that one I just haven't had time to screw with just yet.

When I fill in the link in safari, it's just working fine..

The Safari test is anecdotal and is just meant to make sure you aren't way off the mark - the actual stream that works with ffmpeg may be a different URL. The GetMJStream command tells me it's a 9801 or 9802 probably, so there is an RTSP stream available as well for that you could try, as well as a couple alternatives to the base command to get the stream. You might also have something not right in ffmpeg too, is it loading in the logs?

Just to check you have tapped on image right? I get that camera crossed out logo if the still image path is invalid.

If that's the case then it may work in Safari but it's not how video streaming software addresses it:
rtsp:// /videoMain
rtsp:// videoMain
http:// videostream.asf?user=[USERNAME]&pwd=[PASSWORD]&resolution=[WIDTH]x[HEIGHT]
rtsp:// /videoMain
http:// cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=[USERNAME]&pwd=[PASSWORD]

rtsp:// videoMain
rtsp:// videoMain
http:// cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=[USERNAME]&pwd=[PASSWORD]
rtsp:// videoMain
rtsp:// /videoMain
rtsp:// /videoMain
Below here are different revisions of that model, such as the W and V2:

So I switched from a non-HBB, to HBB tonight. Now my cameras aren't working, which is interesting. The configs look fine. I'm wondering if somehow they are looking in the wrong places for ffmpeg now...

Okay, removed them all, and added one. At first it wasn't working... but now it is. Maybe I wasn't allowing enough time for any iCloud syncing that had to happen.
