Can't get adaptive bitrate to work

[maximko]

I'm trying to use srt_encoder on android as a proxy for gopro camera. Gopro only support rtmp and fixed bitrate but I'm willing to stream using mobile network. So srt_encoder looks like the solution I'm looking for to transcode the stream from gopro and adapt its bitrate to available network bandwidth. I successfully patched and built ffmpeg 4.1 but no matter of network quality bitrate stays the same. I'm using srs v5 as ingest server and MediaMTX v1.4.1 as an intermediate between gopro and ffmpeg. Ffmpeg cmd I'm using is

ffmpeg -re -i rtmp://127.0.0.1:1935/live/app -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast -tune zerolatency -s 1920x1080 -b:v 8000k -c:a libfdk_aac -ab 256k -ar 44100 -ac 2 -f mpegts 'srt://192.168.0.10:10080?streamid=#!::r=live/livestream,m=publish'

No matter of network quality I always get bitrate close to 8000kbits/s in ffmpeg output. During bandwidth decay I receive distorted green image from server and log messages like:

What am I doing wrong?
