I need to stream video from my logitech c920 camera to Youtube using RTMP. I'm using avconv for that purpose. I don't want to reencode the media, because my stream is running on raspberry pi 3 which compute power is limited. My camera has builtin h264 encoder. I'm able to configure this encoder settings using guvcview, but I don't know how to configure keyframe interval that works with avconv. Youtube throws an error that my keyframe interval too long - it's 10 sec and Youtube require it to be at least 4 sec.
I read this https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/593 github discussion, but my v4l2-ctl doesn't have h264_i_frame_period
control setting.
There is whole output from v4l2-ctl --all
v4l2-ctl --all

Any ideas how to change the keyframe interval without reencoding the media? Help please :-)
