[Bug]: FFMPEG Process timed out error #521
Comments
Did you check this Common Issues pages ? |
I spoke too soon. It worked for a few minutes and then started throwing the error/warning again. The strange thing is that when I tap on the video feed from the doorbell in HomeKit, it opens the "live feed" but it's just a still image and not live video like it should be. But it is an updated still image at least. But when the plugin attempts to create the periodic snapshot, it fails with the ffmpeg timeout. |
I'm really not sure what's going on. I've spent quite a few hours over the past couple of days trying everything I can think of. I've tried many different versions of Node.js, many different versions of this plugin, every combination of plugin settings, I've even restored to an older backup from a time when I know the doorbell camera was working. But nothing has worked reliably. Occasionally I can get the live stream to play in the Home app, but 95% of the time, it won't start and no snapshot is taken either. Besides the "ffmpeg timed out" warning, I sometimes see this error "No camera source detected." Please help with this issue. Thanks. |
Here is a log file with snapshot mode set to Cloud. In this mode, I get the "ffmpeg timed out" message. When I change the snapshot mode to Balance, I get the "No camera source detected" message. |
A bit more info...I've disabled the snapshot feature temporarily and now the live feed seems to work 100% of the time. It seems like the plugin is just having trouble starting the camera to grab a snapshot. |
What happened?
Everything has worked fine for over a year. Today, suddenly no snapshot is being created. When I view the log, I see:
[EufySecurity-2.2.21] WARN [SnapshotManager.ts:283] Doorbell ffmpeg process timed out.
