I am trying to use ffmpeg_motion on an image file:
binary_sensor:
- name: ffmpeg_motion_on_file
platform: ffmpeg_mtion
input: "/media/my_snapshot_file.jpg"
Then use the developper services tab to start ffmpeg
service: ffmpeg.start
data: {}
The history shows that ffmpeg_motion tries to launch and immediatly becomes “unavailable”
No additional logs are made
I also tried specifying the ffmpeg
binary manually in the configuration.yaml file:
ffmpeg:
ffmpeg_bin: "/usr/bin/ffmpeg"
I can launch the ffmpeg utility manually using the ssh add-on without any trouble.
How could I get more logs about this so I can debug the problem?
EDIT:
I managed to get some more logs from HA but couldn’t find the bug:
