Live stream fails/times out, snapshots work

[tsightler]

I would suggest setting unbridgeCameras: true and readding the camera to homekit and trying again. Why? Well, using the default setting leverages AAC audio, and the AAC encoder/decoder can be quite picky. Switching to unbridged cameras will cause the audio to use Opus, and this is more standard and requires less processing overhead. If things still don't work with unbridged camera, then you'll need to look carefully at the network setup. Above there are pipe timeouts, which indicate there could be dropped packets or some other issues receiving the packets fast enough.

Also, make sure you have followed up all troubleshooting steps listed in the wiki:

If you homebridge server has mulitple NICs, then video/audio being routed on the wrong network is quite common. You'll likely need to manually setup mDNS to register only on the correct network. That's a really common reason for timeout issues on the local network, as are clients that use various VPN or other privacy tools.

Nothing above implies anything wrong with the code itself, actually, the streams start and are sending and even appear to be receiving, but then there is a timeout.

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate the detailed information. I actually went ahead and upgraded my
Raspberry pi and am using scrypted now and everything is working great.
