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!

but i cannot get audio, i have already installed ffmpeg ( https://github.com/homebridge/ffmpeg-for-homebridge ), because i think i need libfdk-aac-dev .

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?

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.

I noticed there is a new release of Homebridge 3.0.17 available in the Synology Package Manager. Does anyone know of a change log I can follow? I see this is labeled as pre-release in the repo, but I don't see any details on changes in most of the version notes. I'd just like to see what's new before installing.

This was based on the instruction I found here: https://github.com/oznu/homebridge-syno-spk/issues/29 But I seem to be having an issue. This is the message I get in the logs:

I believe you will want the armada37xx package from this page: https://github.com/oznu/homebridge-syno-spk/releases/tag/3.0.9

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I found this issue, which helped me fix it: https://github.com/oznu/homebridge-syno-spk/issues/108

FYI, if you're going to install Homebridge use the official package. I had performance issues running it in Docker.

Recently switched over to the Homebridge (Oznu) package for easier maintaining.
