2.add location of ffmpeg (or avconv) to configuration.yaml file. This is my location is a example only. you must find yours (must that same)

ffmpeg:
ffmpeg_bin: /usr/bin/avconv

3.add camera to configuration.yaml file

I have two ffmpeg cameras out of five. When I select the either one of the ffmpeg cameras for a full screen view they only show a small icon. All my other cameras that are not ffmpeg show full screen perfect.
Anyone else have this problem?

sudo ? how? there is no command line connection when using the Hassbian complete install. I tried but always wrong password.
