Hikvison DS-2CD1023G0E-I configuration

[TvrdikM]

Hello,
I am beginner and I tried to add my two Hikvison DS-2CD1023G0E-I cameras into Homebridge via ffmpeg. The cameras are connected to the NVR (DS-7604NI-K1 / 4P)

Generated rtsp URL works fine in VLC, camera is visible in Homekit, but I get this error when I try to acces live view:
ffmpeg exited with code 1 and signal null (error)

"name": "Camera FFmpeg", "porthttp": 8000, "cameras": [ { "name": "Hikvision", "videoConfig": { "source": "-i rtsp://XXXX@192.168.1.234/Streaming/Channels/201:554", "audio": true } } ],

Any idea why it doesn't work? Or is possible that it will be not working with this camera?

Regards,
Michal

Set debug to true and see if anything else appears in your logs.

The Homebridge runs on Synology NAS.

Sounds like you somehow have a weird version of ffmpeg that doesn’t have rtsp support? I know some people are successfully running it on Synology though, so it should be able to work somehow. I don’t have one myself so I’m not sure exactly what’s gone wrong there.

[TvrdikM]

It´s strange, I have the latest version 3.1.4....

[Sunoo]

The latest version of ffmpeg-for-homebridge is 5.0. According to your log, you’re running ffmpeg 4.1.8. I’m guessing that version didn’t come from the ffmpeg-for-homebridge project.
