BTW when using _ **ffmpeg** _ and/or _ **rtsp** _ in Node-RED, you definately should have a look at the various [nodes](https://github.com/kevinGodell?tab=repositories) that @kevinGodell has developed recently (e.g. this [discussion](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/node-red-contrib-ffmpeg-spawn/44427)).
