core: Snapshot timeout on ffmpeg camera
The problem
Ffmpeg camera cannot take a snapshot because of a timeout without any reason.
Iām using shell_command for calling ffmpeg -rtsp_transport tcp -i "$1" -an -frames:v 1 -y "$2" as a workaround for now and it works just fine (less than 1 sec). Note I have configured the encoding of RTSP stream with very small IDR frames interval.

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?
I tried to enable logs for haffmpeg.tools, but the log does not contain any useful information, just a timeout.
Additional information
/config/snapshot.sh:
ffmpeg -rtsp_transport tcp -i "$1" -an -frames:v 1 -y "$2"
