Unable to rotate camera image for portrait view

Describe the bug I have used the following output_arg to rotate the image of one of my cams, but I get error messages and a green screen for my camera. I have also tried inverting (swapping height and width 1080*1920)

rtmp: -vf transpose=2 -f -rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p and have tried:

rtmp: -vf transpose=1 -r 5 -f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p

Version of frigate 0.8.4-5043040

@noelhibbard can you post the command you were trying with the -f segment args? One feature I have been considering for the future is “post processors” to modify mp4 files afterwards, and this would fit in that use case.
