UDP stream in Server 2.2

Hi,

i’m trying to test streaming in server 2.2 with
ADD 1 STREAM udp://127.0.0.1:5001 -codec:v libx264 -f mpegts -crf:v 18

but getting error:

[error] [ffmpeg] [NULL @ 00000000160776C0] Unable to find a suitable output format for ‘udp://127.0.0.1:5001’

kindly help me to test streaming with correct params of ffmpeg for server 2.2

I believe the format flag needs to be behind the output destination, but I can’t say with 100% certainty. Also, I think 2.2 will ignore the -f flag and look for a -format flag.
