How to stream video from camera to youtube?

Question

YouTube

Good afternoon!
Task:
There is a camera giving a stream through rtsp. On the site you need to display video from this camera.
I tried to organize a publication on youtube via ffmpeg. But youtube does not see the stream, in the panel it constantly displays "Unable to receive data from the video encoder. Check its parameters in the broadcast settings."
Channel with a good reputation, video broadcasts are allowed.
The script of a certain olasd was taken as a basis https://gist.github.com/olasd/9841772

VBR="2500k" 
FPS="30" 
QUAL="medium" 
YOUTUBE_URL="rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2" 
SOURCE="rtsp://109.87.205.23:554/user=admin&password=admin&channel=3&stream=0.sdp?real_stream--rtp-caching=100"	
KEY="awesome.drx2-d9q7-xx4z-ac8q"		 # Название потока в Youtube

ffmpeg \
    -rtsp_transport tcp -i "$SOURCE" \
    -vcodec libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -preset $QUAL -r $FPS -g $(($FPS * 2)) -b:v $VBR \
    -f flv "$YOUTUBE_URL/$KEY"

The maximum bitrate in the settings is 360p, but I tried others.
I suspect that you don't like the stream itself and you need to change the conversion parameters, but my knowledge about encoding video streams is not enough yet.

I think you should look here
for encoding parameters. In turn, I can offer my encoding settings for uploading to YouTube (Made according to the above recommendations):

ffmpeg -i *.mp4 \
-pix_fmt yuv420p -r 25 -g 12 -bf 2 \
-c:v libx264 -profile:v high \
-b:v 8M -bufsize 4M -maxrate 8M -minrate 128k \
-c:a libvo_aacenc -b:a 384k -ar 48000 \
