[HomeKit]: motion recording completed Error: 0

[bustawin]

Hello,

First thanks for this super great tool, it's working amazingly with a raspberry camera—I plan to write a tutorial! I have streaming and detection alert notifications working responsively, but I cannot figure out to make homekit secure video (ie. record video) work. I theoretically have everything as the guide says and the troubleshooting one too.

When I send a detection alert I get from the logs of the camera:

[HomeKit]: motion recording starting

So I understand homekit wants to get the video. After some logs entries about video, I get:

[HomeKit]: motion recording completed Error: 0
[Rebroadcast Plugin]: Stream 1 active rebroadcast clients: 0
[HomeKit]: ffmpeg exited

I would appreciate insights how to handle Error: 0! 🙏

When streaming

Streaming works well, I am adding the logs in case it helps:
stream.log

Configuration in scrypted

I am happy to provide more information. Thank you!

@bustawin where you able to get sorted? I believe I'm having similar issue.

[bustawin]

@apat183 No, unfortunately I didn't :-(

[Evaske]

I am also seeing this exact same error in my logs. Did you get any further with the cause?

[apat183]

I was able to resolve my issue but mine related to the camera. I had Imou camera and I had to install an older firmware and it worked fine after that. So it must be something to do with camera and cutting stream early.

I just use Scrypted NVR now anyways. HomeKit was to unreliable.

@Evaske Go in the Home app on your phone, go to Home Settings, click your name under People, click on Cameras and then check there to make sure it is set to Stream & View Recordings, and not to Stream Only.

I was having this exact same issue and nothing was working, including downgrading the firmware on my Tapo C210. Then I happened upon this setting in the Home app and bingo!

Also, at least in my case, the [HomeKit]: motion recording completed Error: 0 is meaningless, in that I still get it now even though the recordings are working/showing in my Home app.

now this issue appeared here, too.
And yes, Stream & View Recordings is enabled.
