I use ffmpeg + nginx/rtmp to restream video from ip cam to web page. The command I use is:
ffmpeg -rtsp_transport tcp -use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1 -i rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.28.120/ -f flv -c:v copy -c:a copy rtmp://hls.mydomain.com/show/120
Then I use this URL to watch it in chrome:
http://hls.mydomain.com:8080/hls/120.m3u8
The problem is that the video in chrome is very choppy and can barely last only a few minutes before it stops.
On the re-streming server, I saw that ffmpeg quit automatically, without any error output:

I confirmed that the exit code of ffmpeg is 0. Streaming and serving are on two standalone Debian Linux server.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Also, I would like to know the command like arguments to re-stream H265 video. TIA.
