I’m somewhat new to HA. I’m running Home Assistant core 2023.05.2. on an AMD NUC.
I installed frigate NVR from the Add-On store, and MQTT. The frigate install comes up, but with no video using the RTMP stream from my camera. I can view the stream in VLC. The log says ffmpeg: command not found. When I use ssh terminal/bash command line test string I get command not found:
I’ve tried uninstalling/reinstalling frigate-NVR hoping it would bring in the ffmpeg binary, but no luck so far. I’ve also seen this question asked, but not solved for the person asking, so I’m hoping someone can help here.
It was just a stab at trying to “fix” the problem. I got that suggestion from the FFMPEG setup page. It didn’t work before I added it either… I’ll remove it.

It’s odd the log says that when I can clearly see the camera from within HA using the dashboard card. I just can’t get the main frigate integration to show any video. I wish there were better docs, but I understand that the paint on this thing won’t dry before it’s outmoded by another version.
