The `ffmpeg` component allows other Home Assistant components to process video and audio streams. This component supports all FFmpeg versions since 3.0.0; if you have a older version, please update.

<p class='note'>
You need the `ffmpeg` binary in your system path. On Debian 8 or Raspbian (Jessie) you can install it from [debian-backports](https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/). If you want [hardware acceleration](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/HWAccelIntro) support on a Raspberry Pi, you will need to build from source by yourself. Windows binaries are available on the [FFmpeg](http://www.ffmpeg.org/) website.

In most cases, `ffmpeg` automatically detects all needed options to read a video or audio stream or file. But it is possible in rare cases that you will need to set options to help `ffmpeg` out.

Now you should be able to see what is going wrong. The following list contains some common problems and solutions:
- `[rtsp @ ...] UDP timeout, retrying with TCP`: You need to set an RTSP transport in the configuration with: `input: -rtsp_transport tcp -i INPUT`
- `[rtsp @ ...] Could not find codec parameters for stream 0 (Video: ..., none): unspecified size`: FFmpeg needs more data or time for autodetection (the default is 5 seconds). You can set the `analyzeduration` and/or `probesize` options to experiment with giving FFmpeg more leeway. If you find the needed value, you can set it with: `input: -analyzeduration xy -probesize xy -i INPUT`. More information about this can be found [here](https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-formats.html#Description).
