I've been using this command to convert my public rtmp audio/video stream to a local mp3 audio icecast2 stream, but I have been unable to do the same for both video and audio.
[Audio Only] (This works fine)
ffmpeg -re -i rtmp://162.142.xx.xxx:xxx/stream -vn -codec:a libmp3lame -b:a 128k -f mp3 -content_type audio/mpeg icecast://source:[email protected]:80/live
I've tried to re-write in order to support video, but I keep hitting dead ends
[Audio & Video Attempt] (this does not work)
ffmpeg -re -i rtmp://162.142.xx.xxx:xxx/stream -codec:v -f mpeg4 -b:v -f mpeg4 -content_type video/mpeg4 icecast://source:[email protected]:80/live
When I run this command, it gives me the error below asking for a suitable format.
$ ffmpeg -re -i rtmp://162.142.xx.xxx:xxx/stream -codec:v -f mpeg4 -b:v -f mpeg4 -content_type video/mpeg4 icecast://source:[email protected]:80/live

I am positive that icecast2 can support video streams, however on the few occasions that I was able to actively stream successfully to it, it only showed an empty video embed.
I've re-written the command for AV multiple times while referencing ffmpeg documentation, however my above attempt seems to be the closest (concept-wise) that I have gotten.
What flags/formatting might I be missing which are causing the stream not to work?
