I'm attempting to use ffmpeg to transcode an input video from whatever format it's in to an mp4 with h.264 video and MP3 audio and have the output go directly to FMS 4.5 using rtmp so the video will stream right after being transcoded. My ffmpeg command is:
ffmpeg -re -y -i /videos/to/be/transcoded/001 -c:v libx264 -b:v 480k -c:a libmp3lame -b:a 128k -f mp4 "rtmp://localhost/live/livestream"
Output:

Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): Operation not permitted
The error I keep getting is "Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters?): Operation not permitted". But if I run this same command and have ffmpeg output to a new video file I don't get this error.
What's going wrong, and how can I avoid this error?
