[FFmpeg-user] ffmpeg to stream an already h.264 encoded stream

[Verachten Bruno]

First of all, I don't know if I should continue within this thread or
create a new one. It's all about the same subject, streaming and
recording locally RTMP streams. Please let me know.

So, for the time being, I am able to stream the h.264 encoded stream
with the audio changed thanks to:
ffmpeg -i "$SOURCE" -thread_queue_size 2048 -f pulse -i
"alsa_input.usb-Focusrite_Scarlett_2i4_USB-00.analog-stereo" -c:v copy
 -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 -f flv "$YOUTUBE_URL/$KEY"
That's fine, I'm really happy with that.
Now, I have to save the video on the disk too.
So I had a look at the tee format, and issued that command:
ffmpeg -i rtmp://192.168.1.212:1935/live/stream1 -thread_queue_size
2048 -f pulse -i
alsa_input.usb-Focusrite_Scarlett_2i4_USB-00.analog-stereo -c:v copy
-map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 -f tee "[f=flv:onfail=ignore]$YOUTUBE_URL/$KEY"

Automatic encoder selection failed for output stream #0:1. Default
encoder for format tee (codec none) is probably disabled. Please
choose an encoder manually.
Error selecting an encoder for stream 0:1

I had other outputs for the tee, but as it was not working, I removed
them. There must be something important that I missed in that tee
format...
Please let me know.

Best wishes,
