If you prefer to use a file editor on your computer, use the Samba add-on to access the files as a network share.

This add-on runs VS Code, which offers live syntax checking and auto-fill of various Home Assistant entities (if unavailable on your system, use File Editor add-on instead). The easiest option to edit configuration.yaml is to use the Studio Code Server add-on. If you run into trouble while configuring Home Assistant, refer to the configuration troubleshooting page and the configuration.yaml examples. Throughout the documentation you will find snippets that you can add to your configuration file to enable specific functionality. This file contains integrations to be loaded along with their configurations. The easiest way to get the latest and most functional version of ffmpeg is to download the statically linked builds.While you can configure most of Home Assistant directly from the user interface under Settings, some parts need you to edit configuration.yaml. The good news for Linux users is that the H.265 codec is available in the popular encoding suite “ffmpeg.” Although ffmpeg probably exists in your distro’s repositories, it might be out of date or it might not have support for H.265 compiled in. Alternately, it means that the quality of the video can be substantially improved at the same bit rate, something very important for very high definition (i.e. This means that video at the same quality needs only half of the bandwidth (or file size). H.265 doubles the data compression ratio compared to H.264 and can support resolutions up to 8192×4320.

MPEG-H/H.265: The next generation encoding format with support for 4K and 8K resolutionsĪfter H.264 came H.265. It also has a few other names, most commonly High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) or MPEG-H.

MPEG-2/H.262: Used for DVD and other digital mediums.

MP3: Part of the MPEG-1 standard, ubiquitous today.

After DVD came Blu-ray, which as well as supporting videos encoded in MPEG-2, also supported H.264 or MPEG-4 Part 10, Advanced Video Coding (MPEG-4 AVC) as it was officially known. MPEG-2 was also ratified by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) as H.262.

It was also used as the underlying video standard for digital satellite (DVB-S) and digital terrestrial TV (DVB-T). After MPEG-1 came MPEG-2, which was chosen as the video compression standard for DVD video.
