Partly worksHKSV works but FFmpeg processes accumulate and exhaust RAM on Pi 5
Saved copy
Hi, I've recently enabled HKSV with 1 of my Dahua cameras and initially it worked great but I noticed my pi5 crashing after about 1-2 hours. I have narrowed the issue down to the ram being consumed, specifically by multiple FFmpeg processes piling up and not clearing. I have tried all sorts of different settings but I can't get this to work smoothly at all, any help would be appreciated.

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

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.
