Noob trying to get RTSP stream started with RPi 5 and RPi Camera Module 3 Wide

Question

The title says it all. The docker seems to be running:

But when I try the first command under Basic Usage which is this...
ffmpeg -re -stream_loop -1 -i file.ts -c copy -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:8554/mystream
...I get this...

What do I do next?

Hi, it means that is it not able to get the file.ts you're trying to stream. Perhaps provide an absolute path instead.

Thanks, but I don't get why the basic streaming example would reference a file. I want to view the real-time stream on VLC on my desktop for example. What's the right syntax to just start a stream of the camera without reference to a file?

Thanks! That video killed two birds...showed it wasn't just me who couldn't get the basic rpicam RTSP stream working using the provided docs and why I should just use MediaMTX (although those docs apparently are wrong too).
