Onvif FDT IP Cameras and Amcrest integration not working in HASSIO V 0.64.0 [haffmpeg.core] FFmpeg isn't running!

Configuration
1

I’ve been able to rid myself of most of the errors I was receiving but I can’t seem to find a solution for this one. I have 8 FDT cameras around my home and I’m only playing with one of them for the moment. my config.yaml has this

ffmpeg:

# Cameras
camera:
  platform: onvif
  host: 192.168.x.yy
  port: 8080
  name: Cam-Kitchen
  username: admin
  password: xxxx

All of my cameras are working through the AMCREST monitioring NVR and the setup for this particular camera is:
onvif%20params

When I launch Home Assistant I now get a camera block without an image

cam-dash
cam-dash830×493 29.9 KB

But when I click on the image nothing happens. The log file only reports the following:
2018-02-27 10:06:35 WARNING (MainThread) [haffmpeg.core] FFmpeg isn't running!
Is there something that I’m not doing with the ffmpeg setup? According to the documentation i don’t see any additional parameters needed for this component.

Well, I’m getting a little farther. Running HASSIO 0.72. I had the wrong port in configuration.yaml. I’m getting a response the camera is connecting…then it crashes. but here is the error log:

How far are you with this? Any chance you could help me at least figure out how to propperly set up the logging feature to only display errors comming out of the onvif part?

Just put this in your configuration.yaml file and uncomment the logging you want

logger:
  default: warning
  logs:
#    homeassistant.components.mqtt: debug
#    homeassistant.components.camera: debug
#    custom_components.camera.onvif: debug

I am considering buying an Amcrest NVR for my SV3C Cameras, but your post has me worried. Will I not be able to pull the Camera feed into HA via Amcrest?

I haven’t been able to get it to work yet.
