Version information

• ffmpeg version: 5.1.4-0+rpt3+deb12u1
• OS: Debian 12.2.0-14

Code to reproduce

ffmpegProcess = ffmpeg()
        .input("'rtsp://172.16.1.21:554/stream0?username=admin&password=<insert-pass>'")
        .inputOptions([
            '-loglevel debug',
            '-hide_banner',
            '-fflags nobuffer',
            '-flags low_delay',
            '-rtsp_transport udp'
        ])
        .outputOptions([
            '-c:v copy',
            '-an',
            '-preset veryfast',
            '-ssrc 0x'+ssrc,
            '-f rtp'
        ])
        .output("'rtp://52.86.222.93:43900?rtcpport=47929&pkt_size=1200'")
        .on('start', (commandLine) => {
            console.log('Spawned Ffmpeg with command: ' + commandLine);
        })
        .on('error', (err, stdout, stderr) => {
            console.error('An error occurred: ' + err.message);
            console.log('ffmpeg stdout:', stdout);
            console.log('ffmpeg stderr:', stderr);
        })
        .on('end', () => {
            console.log('Stream ended for camera');
        });

ffmpegProcess.run();

Expected results

ffmpeg process that streams rtp to a media server (output path)

everything works fine when using CLI to run identical command

Observed results

"rtsp://172.16.1.21:554/stream0?username=admin&password=E10ADC3949BA59ABBE56E057F20F883E": No such file or directory

Checklist

• [x] I have read the FAQ
• [x] I tried the same with command line ffmpeg and it works correctly (hint: if the problem also happens this way, this is an ffmpeg problem and you're not reporting it to the right place)
• [x] I have included full stderr/stdout output from ffmpeg

I am not sure if I have similar issue. I can send stream videos to my client with files ok, but with rtsp url, I cannot.

            headersSent = true;

            res.sendStatus(200);
          }

    })
    .run();

update

I got it work with below code and options

ffmpeg(rtspUrl, { timeout: 432000 })
    .addOptions([
      "-rtsp_transport tcp", // Use TCP for RTSP

      "-fflags -nobuffer", // Disable buffering
      "-probesize 32", // Set probe size
      "-s 480x360", // Set output resolution
      "-level 3.0", // Set H.264 level
      "-start_number 0", // Start segment numbering
      "-hls_time 2", // Set segment duration to 2 seconds

      "-hls_flags delete_segments",
      "-f hls", // Set output format to HLS
    ])
    .output(path.join(videosDir, "output.m3u8"))
    .on("end", () => {
      console.log("end");
    })
    .on("progress", function (progress: { percent: string }) {
