Similar to #6807

I have a ipc-t250h by hikvision.

If I use the following config, all works just fine:

go2rtc:
  streams:
    front_porch_hd:
      - rtsp://<user>:<pwd>@<address>/Streaming/Channels/101
    front_porch:
      - rtsp://<user>:<pwd>@<address>/Streaming/Channels/102

cameras:
  front_porch:
    enabled: true
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/front_porch_hd
          roles:
            - audio
            - record
        - path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/front_porch
          roles:
            - detect
    detect:
      enabled: true
      width: 1280
      height: 720
      fps: 5

but, I need to mount the camera at 90 degrees, so I'd like to rotate the stream. I've tried:

go2rtc:
  streams:
    front_porch_hd:
      - ffmpeg:rtsp://<user>:<pwd>@<address>/Streaming/Channels/101#video=h264#rotate=90
    front_porch:
      - ffmpeg:rtsp://<user>:<pwd>@<address>/Streaming/Channels/102#video=h264#rotate=90

cameras:
  front_porch:
    enabled: true
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/front_porch_hd
          roles:
            - audio
            - record
        - path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/front_porch
          roles:
            - detect
    detect:
      enabled: true
      width: 1280
      height: 720
      fps: 5

as suggested in the linked discussion, but then get:

Any suggestions for where I might go next gratefully received!

Here is how i do it with a Reolink Camera.

go2rtc:
streams:
FrontEntryCam_main:
 -ffmpeg:http://cam.local/flv?port=1935&app=bcs&stream=channel0_main.bcs&user=admin&password=password#video=h264#audio=copy#rotate=90#hardware

FrontEntryCam:
ffmpeg:
output_args:
record: preset-record-generic-audio-copy
inputs:
# High Resolution Streams
- path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/FrontEntryCam_main
input_args: preset-rtsp-restream

Thank you. Not for the first time, the answer turns out to be "meatballs, you're an idiot"....

If you properly undo the grub screw on the camera instead of only doing half a job, you can twist it any direction you want and don't have to rotate the image at all.

Sorry to have wasted everyone's time.
