Describe the issue

My goal is to stream to and from the server using OBS, I'm trying everything in my power to stream to my server, but each method (OBS, python + OpenCV, FFMPEG, VLC, WebRTC) gives me an error or does nothing. I have followed the instructions on docker hub and github.

Describe how to replicate the issue

1. docker pull bluenviron/mediamtx
2. docker run --rm -it --network=host bluenviron/mediamtx
3. several Options, will list one by one as sub-points: 3a. ffmpeg -re -stream_loop -1 -i room.ts -c copy -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:8554/mystream 3b. OBS stream to rtmp://localhost with (and without) streamkey mystream 3c. using a python 3.10 venv with opencv-python 4.10.0.84 and the exact script from the readme file 3d. Attempting to use WebRTC with http://localhost:8889/mystream/publish 3e. start VLC, Ctrl+S, I choose a file to stream, add an RTSP server with port 8554
4. See Discussion https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/discussions/3664 for the individual consequences

Did you attach the server logs?

yes, but all it gives is this status on bootup
