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?

This one plugin is giving me trouble, which is modified for Telus security. I installed the alarm.com plugin, then tried to install this one, however, I continue to get this error. I got it when I tried to install the Telus plugin before installing the original Alarm.com plugin as well. Any advice? Thank you!

I am using https://github.com/node-alarm-dot-com/homebridge-node-alarm-dot-com/releases/tag/v1.8.0 which lets you use the 2FA cookie or no 2FA (if you want to disable it on the account you're using).
