Camera FFmpeg Verifiedhomebridge-camera-ffmpeg | Partly works | Failed on iPad until vcodec copy setting changed; H264 pickySaved copyI ran into something similar last week. It was a Tapo camera. It would stream fine on the iPhone but not on the iPad. I was using the camera ffmpeg plug-in and the vcodec setting was set to “copy”. It turned out that iPads are more picky with the h264 format. I guess the camera was not sending perfect h264. I removed the vcodec setting in the config so it would transcode the video stream. Worked perfectly after that on the iPad. Maybe AppleTV has same pickiness? 🤷♂️ Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22. | Local | Reddit comment · 2022-05 |

In ReReHome
Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
