 Some video feeds are not compatible with RTMP. If you are experiencing issues, check to make sure your camera feed is h264 with AAC audio. If your camera doesn't support a compatible format for RTMP, you can use the ffmpeg args to re-encode it on the fly at the expense of increased CPU utilization.

 ## Timestamp style configuration
 
 For the debug view and snapshots it is possible to embed a timestamp in the feed. In some instances the default position obstructs important space, visibility or contrast is too low because of color or the datetime format does not match ones desire.
