0.2.0-alpha1 broke the "Now Playing" video feed

[martinorob]

0.2.0-alpha1 broke the "Now Playing" video feed,
in /tmp/ there is a homebridge-itunes-nowplaying.txt
with the text of the song but no jpg and in the home app there are no new accessories to add.

(the alpha0 work's good)

Hmm! I don't think I intended to change the default behavior, but I might have--and that feature is now configurable. If you have Hesperus, configure the bridge and enable the now playing feature. (If you don't have Hesperus, add "enable_now_playing": true to the iTunes platform block in config.json.) if that fixes it, let me know...I'll research it more tomorrow one way or the other.

added "enable_now_playing": true to the config
"platforms": [{
"platform": "iTunes",
"enable_now_playing": true
}, {
"platform": "Camera-ffmpeg",
"cameras": [{
"name": "iTunes Now Playing",
"videoConfig": {
"source": "-re -loop 1 -framerate 1 -r 1 -i /tmp/homebridge-itunes-nowplaying.jpg",
"maxStreams": 2,
"maxWidth": 480,
"maxHeight": 480,
"maxFPS": 2
}
}]

removed cachedaccessories but nothing.
(but now in /tmp/ I have homebridge-itunes-artwork.jpg homebridge-itunes-nowplaying.jpg
homebridge-itunes-artwork.tmp homebridge-itunes-nowplaying.txt )

Log say that I have 5 webcam (that is true) but no new webcam "iTunes Now Playing" is showing on the Add new device in HomeKit app. (yes, I don't use Hesperus)

Thanks for your support!

Oh...I misunderstood the problem a little. Are your other 5 webcams also using camera-ffmpeg? If so can I see your entire config.json (minus PIN and any sensitive info)?

For what it's worth, I'm testing creation of the now-playing images here and got a little bit of a weird result, my main iTunes system had to be rebooted before it would behave, no idea why. But, now it's working as expected, as well as my laptop where I do my development.

Yes, my other 4 webcams also using camera-ffmpeg
Here is my config

any news? Thanks

Looking at this again now. I don't see anything wrong with your config at least. I'm having problems myself now but with all my cameras. Think this might be a problem with ffmpeg itself, or at least on my end.
