Not able to install ffmpeg with instructions given

See original GitHub issue

It is not clear (to me) where to enter the command to install ffmpeg. I tried in the Docker terminal. Results:

/homebridge # sudo apt install ffmpeg
sudo: apt: command not found
/homebridge # apt install ffmpeg
/bin/sh: apt: not found
/homebridge #

How can I install ffmpeg for homebridge-securitysytsem? Can you provide some more detailed instructions.

did you install homebridge using the official instruction for QNAP?

https://github.com/oznu/docker-homebridge/wiki/Homebridge-on-QNAP

After that it’s maybe easier to install ffmpeg via the homebridge-camera-ffmpeg plugin to automatically install all the needed dependencies.

just an idea 🤔

basically I’m not a friend of the NAS versions of homebridge…maybe it’s better to use a stand alone raspberry pi version if you want to use more specific plugins… you will certainly run into problems more often I guess
