Only 1 of 3 foscam cameras working, suspect cache problem, or someting like that

[Shinodas]

Hello there,

I am a hobbyist who is trying to get his foscam 3 foscam camera's (2x C1-lite and 1 FI9816P camera) working with this plugin in homebridge. So far i have managed to get 1 of the C1 lite camera's working perfectly, i can watch the stream in homekit app on iphone, motion detection is working, with this camera its all good, i want the other 2 to behave exactly like this one is....

Because the other 2 are giving a problem. wich i suspect has something to do with the camera's being duplicated in a cache file somewhere, since 1 of the camera's thats NOT working, actually WORKS the first time i open it in home on IOS. Then when i close the stream and try to reopen it, it returns to the same problem that i am having for a while now...

Okay so what is the problem? (remember i am not a programmer or anything, just someone trying to use this nice plugin. Nice since 1 of the camera's is working very good!)

The problem that i am getting, is that when i open 1 of the "problem" cameras in IOS home app, ffmpeg starts in terminal normally, but as soon as i see the stream mapping, it gives the following output.

[2018-11-27 15:17:08] [Foscam] Stopped streaming`

So the stream eventually stops without giving a live view.....The other C1 lite camera that is NOT working, does exactly the same. I have tried reinstalled homebridge several times, reinstalling the plugin, reinstalling ffmpeg... But those 2 camera's keep giving me this empty output file problem... While the other C1-lite foscam camera, is WORKING (stream and motion detection) with exactly the same setup....

I noticed that the TIME on booth camera stream is time=-577014:32:22.77 this is always the same time when i try to start to stream

Since i have 1 of the camera's working perfectly i feel like, getting where i want (all 3 foscam camera's working in homekit, stream and motion detection) is very close... But this weird thing keeps happening... over and over again..

Since i am not a programmer and i dont really know anything about ffmpeg configuration or anything like that.... i hope that someone who does understand all this stuff, can help / guide me to a working setup!

Here is my config.json file
