Support for external camera's

[Razor225]

Hi,

just started using your plugin. I've been searching through quite some topics but I've yet to find the answer to mine.
I'm able to get rtsp stream from a local camera (hikvision) but I have some external camera's that I would like to monitor.
I've setup these camera's to work with DDNS and as such i'm using a software program that fetches the feed via rtsp://user:password@xxxxxx.ddns.net:8445 . However when I try adding this URL to homebridge, it keeps giving me errors. (masked user and password obviously)

[2/1/2022 19:51:04] [Camera FFmpeg] [Thailand Terras] Stopped video stream.
[2/1/2022 19:51:06] [Camera FFmpeg] [Thailand Terras] FFmpeg exited with code: null and signal: SIGKILL (Forced)`

Thanks for your help

Hi @Sunoo any update on this?

[Sunoo]

Can you try removing the mapvideo line from your config?

[Razor225]

tried no luck

[Sunoo]

It just looks like you’re not getting any video frames from the camera, for some reason.

@Sunoo I'm able to obtain a snapshot.. but each time when I try to view the live feed I get this:

I tried reducing the stream setting on my substream, I tried putting it on H264 instead of H265. I'm out of ideas...
