r/Scrypted

Hoping someone on this subreddit can provide some help. I recently changed from one Mac Mini to a new one. Scrypted is running on the new Mac Mini. Cameras and NVR work fine on Scrypted itself. However, I cannot get any cameras added to HomeKit. When I try to add, it times out and I get the message "Unable to add accessory. Accessory is not reachable".

I have checked out all the suggestions in the wiki: https://docs.scrypted.app/homekit-troubleshooting.html

  • Ensure all your Apple TV and Home Pods are online and updated. Power cycling them is recommended in case one is stuck. - DONE
  • Ensure your Apple TV and Home Pods are on the same subnet as the Scrypted server. - They are
  • Ensure LAN/WLAN multicast is enabled on your router. - it is
  • Ensure the iOS device you are using for pairing is on the same network (pairing will fail on cellular). - it is
  • Ensure the Docker installation (if applicable) is using host networking. This configuration is the default if the official Scrypted Docker compose install script was used. - not applicable (running on Mac)
  • Try switching the mDNS advertiser used in the HomeKit plugin settings. - have tried all settings in menu, with restart in between each change
  • Try disabling IGMP Snooping on your router. - done

I have also set static IP for Scrypted under network and also under HK (the wired IP address) and disabled Wifi on the Mac.

Not sure if this is meaningful, but in the ios Home app, if I click "add accessory" and "more options", all of the cameras show up as nearby accessories (meaning that Home is seeing them from Scrypted). But attempting to add them to the Home app does not work and times out. Something seems to be blocking the connection between HK and Scypted.

When I had the same setup on my previous Mac Mini (on the same network), I had no difficulty adding the cameras to Scrypted.

I don't know what else to try, and am open to any suggestions.

I have four Reolink cameras configured in Scrypted: two Altas battery-powered cameras and two other cameras with external power (an E1 Zoom and a Duo 3 WiFi). Everything has been working well with Scrypted managing all four cameras.

I activated an NVR trial subscription and added all four cameras to it. Within the two-day trial period, both Altas cameras drained their battery completely even while connected to power. One won't power on at all now. The other will power on but won't connect to the network and the hard-reset button presses do not seem to do anything at all.

So I have two cameras, purchased at different places and different times, in continuous service for months now, all working correctly in Scrypted and the official Reolink client, which stopped functioning pretty much as soon as Scrypted NVR was enabled. It's hard to believe that these events are unconnected.

Am I the only one to see this type of behavior? Does anyone have advice on what to do about it?

Thanks.

Hey friends, I've set up Scrypted and have been running it for awhile now. I have it running on Intel hardware with 8 dedicated cores, and an NVIDIA 5080 GPU.

I'm running the nvidia docker image, and have installed the nvidia drivers and nvidia container toolkit. In the ONNX Object Detection plugin in Scrypted I can select Device ID "0" for the card, it shows "CUDAExecutionProvider" under Execution Device, and in the settings per camera for "Object Detection" I set Decoder to "cuda" and Post Processing to "Hardware".

Running the Diagnostics plugin on System yields:

GPU Decode
Running OK

I monitor the host by ssh to prompt and watching htop output. CPU usage across all cores is super low. Lots of "prebuffer-mixin" processes running (which is weird because I don't have prebuffering turned on, but that's for another time). Everything seems okay.

BUT every once in awhile I notice it lagging a bunch, I'll log in and check and it's like scrypted lost awareness of the GPU. Looking at htop then, all CPU cores are pegged, and there are a bunch of onnx processes suddenly listed as running. To me this indicates the cpu is processing object detection and not the gpu. I go to the gear icon in Scrypted management UI, do a Restart under "Server Management", and it's all good again. Everything shows up.

Any thoughts on this, or things to watch for? Any type of watchdog I can run?

Many thanks!

For anyome experiencing terrible NVR performance when connected to your LAN, but everything works when not connected locally, DISABLE TURN SERVERS IN WEBRTC SETTINGS.

Hope this helps someone out there as support seems to be non-existent.

Absolute bloody nightmare.

I've got raccoons in my backyard that I'd like to scare off with a combination of lights and sound.

How do I train a Scrypted custom model to detect raccoons? Can someone ELI5?

Many thanks!
