Some errors in log with fresh install of Home Assistant

General Discussion

Hi guys,

I just did a fresh install of Home Assistant via dietpi-software. I see a couple of errors in the log and I’m wondering if these are normal and can be ignored?

  • FFmpeg fails [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘ffmpeg’
  • Error loading libturbojpeg; Camera snapshot performance will be sub-optimal
  • Cannot watch for dhcp packets without a functional packet filter: libpcap is not available. Cannot compile filter !

something you would need to install

Hi,

Can I join the discussion here?

I also get the missing libcap error from above.

Cannot watch for dhcp packets without a functional packet filter: libpcap is not available. Cannot compile filter !

I just seem to have fixed an error where it was complaining about static libraries for ffmpeg.

Turns out that pyav==16.0 for home assistant supports only ffmpeg version 7 or higher.

The repo has only version 5.1.8, I will try to compile a newer version.

By the way, is there any way to compile ffmpeg on the pi 1B with h264 hardware encoding under bookworm? It was possible in buster, but mmal was dropped in bullseye it seems. Is there maybe a way with v4l2? Or any kind of hack that might work? Kodi still has hardware decoding under bookworm, right?
