I open 2 tabs of Terminal in my Ubuntu Desktop.
In Terminal tab 1 I run netcat -l -p 5000 | mplayer -fps 60 -cache 2048 - and in
Terminal tab 2 I log in RPi 3B+ with Buster 32-bit via ssh and run
raspivid -t 0 --width 1280 --height 720 -o – | nc 192.168.1.33 5000
Immediately I get camera live from the Pi camera to the Ubuntu screen.
I have another card with a fresh installation of Bullseye 64-bit so I tried the same but replacing raspivid by libcamera-vid
I get:
Preview window unavailable

But I don't get live camera.
I also tried
libcamera-vid --timeout 0 --framerate 5 --nopreview --codec h264 --profile high --intra 5 --width 1280 --height 720 --output – | nc 192.168.1.33 5000
and the output is:

No output at all.
When I CONTROL-C libcamera-vid then netcat in Terminal tab 1 also exits.
UPDATE 1:
I tried the same thing from a laptop with Linux Mint I usually use in the field for that purpose and
libcamera-vid -t 0 --width 1280 --height 720 -o – | nc 192.168.1.33 5000 worked okay.
I'll make updates again in Ubuntu and retry...
Now I'm getting nc: port number invalid: /home/pi
(Laptop's ssh session is closed)
Finally I've just erased the nc command nc 192.168.1.33 5000 and wrote it again and it worked (!) I have live view now.
