Can't register any RTSP camera

[chubinmax1]

Describe the bug
I tried to register two cameras. Sonoff and Hikvision as network RTSP cameras. In both attempts I got a network error. What am I doing wrong?
i'm tried connect to camera with ffmp
camera.ui.log
eg directly and no any problem. VLC player can connect to both cameras too.

Check if ffmpeg is installed in the system, try whereis ffmpeg

Hi, i had the same problem. In my system ffmpeg was missing too. If you are using raspberry pi just do sudo apt-get install ffmpeg .

Sadly after this i got 2 new error-messages one saying that "_

Stream exited with error! (null) - Unrecognized option 'stimeout'. Error splitting the argument list: Option not found

Which i managed to fix by editing the ffmpeg-Configs from stimeout to timeout.

But at the next error-message i struggle for long now: "

CCTV-CAM: Stream exited with error! (null) - [NULL @ 0x55a6c097c0] Unable to find a suitable output format for 'rtsp://USER:PASSWORD@CAMS_IP:CAMPS_PORT' rtsp://USER:PASSWORD@CAMS_IP:CAMPS_PORT: Invalid argument
