Installation Home Assistant OS

I have this entry in my log:
[ffmpeg.core] FFmpeg isn’t running!

I can’t find any instrictions in the component desdiption i can read:
If you are using Hass.io then just move forward to the configuration as all requirements are already fulfilled.

How can i test if FFmpeg is running?
Thank you for any help.

@Alexander_Kirchner, I’m having problems as well. Could you share some light on this? I would like to confirm too that ffmpeg is running, because I keep seeing this errors in the logfile

I also experienced that ffmpeg is unstable on hass.io while reading /dev/video0.

It ended up that I flashed hassbian image, changed port of hassbian to 8124 and installed hass.io on top by using the github script.

So ffmpeg is running on hassbian and give values via mqtt upstream to mosquitto addon.
Therefore I can access all values from two hass instances on one machine. :smiley:
No problems till now, running RPi3 Hassbian on USB HDD (Increased swap partition to 512MB)
