Describe the issue

After I extracted the mediamtx_v0.22.2_linux_amd64.tar.gz in my Download folder, running the executable with ./mediamtx_v0.22.2_linux_amd64/mediamtx shows me the following message in the Logs:

    2023/05/11 13:10:14 INF MediaMTX / rtsp-simple-server v0.22.2
    2023/05/11 13:10:14 WAR configuration file not found, using an empty configuration

    2023/05/11 13:10:14 INF [WebRTC] listener opened on :8889 (HTTP)

Not finding the configuration file. After starting the stream some more messages appeared:

    2023/05/11 13:34:32 INF [RTSP] [conn 192.168.30.232:54176] opened
    2023/05/11 13:34:32 INF [RTSP] [conn 192.168.30.232:54176] closed (path 'mystream' is not configured)

The weird aspect is that this issue only showed up today. I have been running mediamtx for about 2 weeks before and never had this problem starting the streaming.

Describe how to replicate the issue

start the server
start the stream with ffmpeg: ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -profile:v high -pix_fmt yuvj420p -level:v 4.1 -preset ultrafast -tune zerolatency -vcodec libx264 -r 10 -b:v 512k -s 1920x1080 -strict -2 -ac 2 -ab 32k -ar 44100 -f mpegts -f rtsp -rtsp_transport tcp rtsp://192.168.30.232:8554/mystream (the command I have been using)
Check the configuration file located in ./mediamtx_v0.22.2_linux_amd64/mediamtx.yml after searching on the internet for a solution I tried to edit the end of the file where paths are specified and left only:
```
paths:
    mystream:
        source: Camera
```

Did you attach the server logs?

no

Did you attach a network dump?

no

try going into the folder where you have mediamtx and mediamtx.yml

example: cd /path/to/mediamtx_v0.22.2_linux_amd64 ./mediamtx

or follow the instructions to add it as a service that will auto start on boot... https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx#linux
