FFmpeg, libfdk_aac, issue locking, and issue deletion
Well, everyone except ffmpeg-for-homebridge. The ffmpeg binary produced actually yells about how it "is not legally redistributable" as I raised on https://github.com/homebridge/ffmpeg-for-homebridge/issues/52, but our esteemed gentleman from (checks profile) North Dakota u/donavanbecker cites FDK's license about how it is redistributable under such and such terms. Well my dear friend, it is redistributable on its own, but not when you link it with GPL parts!

Hardware accelerated ffmpeg/camera encoding on Raspberry Pi 4 (homebridge-nest-cam)
It looks like they removed h264_omx support from recent Rasbian builds. I tried using h264_v4l2m2m which is supposed to be the replacement with ffmpeg-for-homebridge through https://github.com/Brandawg93/homebridge-nest-cam but I get no video. Anyone have this working?

Making a baby cam with the Raspberry Pi HQ Cam
I figured out that, for some reason, Homebridge wants to use libfdk_aac as the audio codec for the audio stream. Alas, the supplied FFmpeg only has the (inferior) native AAC encoder installed. No worries, you have to install ffmpeg-for-homebridge (sudo curl -Lf# https://github.com/homebridge/ffmpeg-for-homebridge/releases/latest/download/ffmpeg-raspbian-armv6l.tar.gz | sudo tar xzf - -C / --no-same-owner), which comes with libfdk_aac support compiled.

No camera video feed, only snapshot first frame
homebridge-camera-ffmpeg hasn't been updated in several years and it was having issues even back then. I'd probably consider it to be a dead plugin.

Can’t get Homekit motion detection with camera-ffmpeg to work?
So I bought a couple TP-link C100 cameras and paired them with Homebridge and Homekit with the camera-ffmpeg plugin. Everything works fine, except motion detection. I’ve tried the suggested workaround creating a dummy companion switch for the cameras, the switch gets created but only triggers a notification if I trigger it manually.
