Unable to get HomeKit QR Codes to display #1483
-
I'm attempting to convert from homebridge to scrypted but I'm having difficulties with the basics so far. I'm running Ubuntu Server on a NUC 13 Pro. After running through the install guide using the docs website, I get to the point where I need to add the cameras to homekit, but the QR codes do not display anywhere (either on the Homekit plugin itself, or on any cameras in standalone mode). I can see the manual pairing codes, but they don't actually work when typed in manually in the home app accessory add wizard. Initially, I removed homebridge and installed Scrypted on my NUC which was running Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS. I saw in the docs that 22.04 was recommended, so I wiped the NUC and installed that fresh, and end up with the same issue. Below are the steps I took on the fresh install:
I'm assuming since its failing out of the box that I'm doing something wrong, I'm just not sure what. Most of the threads I was able to find regarding missing QR codes were installation errors that they resolved by re-installing, but unfortunately I'm getting it from the go. Does anyone know what might be causing this? |

Tried to reload the plugin serveral times with no luck - attached are some screenshots (not sure if the pairing codes are sensitive so I marked them out) |

Sorry I should have specified, those last 2 screenshots were from a camera but I had cropped them, see below for the full photos: |

I tried this again from the start with the Linux + Docker method, including re-installing Ubuntu server again, and had the same problem with no QR codes. I switched to Proxmox VE 8.2 as that seemed to be the preferred OS in the docs, and it worked flawlessly using the same steps I was taking with the Ubuntu version to configure Scrypted. It was all the same but the QR codes actually appeared. Perhaps there is an issue with the Ubuntu docker image maybe specific to the NUC 13 pro hardware? In any case I'm good now, and the performance is notably better than what I got with Homebridge! |
