Camera declared a microphone and no image shown
The problem I have a Raspberry Pi Zero W v1.1 set up with a Pi camera v2. Using the following GitHub repository, I made the Pi Zero run a stream. The stream is working fine and I can receive it on another device using VLC Media Player. However, on my other Raspberry Pi 3B+ running Homebridge I am unable to receive the Camera stream, using this ffmpeg plugin. It declares the camera a microphone, even though I did not even enable audio. I really want to see the camera stream, any help is appreciated!
To Reproduce: I used this guide to get the RTSP stream running. Homebridge is in the same network as the camera.
Logs: I did not really get an error, these are the only two entries regarding the ffmpeg plugin
