Using libcamera-vid

Describe the feature

Description

I'm trying to inject a raspberry pi camera (h264) stream into FFMPEG from within the rtsp-simple-server.yaml file. When running this from outside the container this works as expected, the stream is being forwarded to the rtsp server, and I can SETUP a connection from VLC.

libcamera-vid -t 0 --inline -o - | ffmpeg -i pipe: -c copy -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:$RTSP_PORT/$RTSP_PATH

However when trying to run this from within the config, I'm getting a series of exit code 0.

cam:
  runOnInit: libcamera-vid -t 0 --inline -o - | ffmpeg -i pipe: -c copy -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:$RTSP_PORT/$RTSP_PATH
  runOnInitRestart: yes

Any thoughts? I looked at the examples here (https://github.com/aler9/rtsp-simple-server#from-a-raspberry-pi-camera) but this is no longer applicable I assume (dont work with latest version)

Here is what I have working:

rtsp-simple-server.yml

paths:
cam:
runOnInit:
runOnInitRestart: yes

Then run in terminal:
libcamera-vid -t 0 --width 1280 --height 1080 --codec h264 -n --autofocus 1 --shutter 0 --vflip --hflip --profile=high --framerate 15 -o - | gst-launch-1.0 fdsrc ! h264parse ! rtspclientsink location=rtsp://$SERVER_IP:$SERVER_PORT/cam

That being said, it is extremely slow for me. I'm only getting like 1/7 FPS, not sure why.
