I changed it to this:

ffmpeg -i 
"rtsp://192.168.x.y:554/user=admin_password=XXXXXXXX_channel=1_stream=0.sdp?real_stream" 
-y -c:a aac -b:a 160000 -ac 2 -s 960x540 -c:v libx264 -b:v 800000 
-hls_time 6 -hls_list_size 10 -hls_flags delete_segments -start_number 1 
mystream.m3u8


that doesn't delete the "old files" though


>> mystream.m3u8 is created after "mystream1.ts" is created/finished, can it be created  as soon as ffmpeg starts, so the stream is "immediately" available?
> Well this is partly because HLS isn’t really a streaming protocol, I can’t think of any good way to avoid that initial delay. The recommended target duration of each segment is 6 seconds (or adjusted for drop frame) so if you change hls_time from 10 to 6 you could make it shorter but I don’t think that’s usually the “bottleneck,” so to speak. There’s the time needed to connect to the original rtsp source and transcode, for instance.

true,  but the delay is about 60 seconds or so,  I think that is because 
each segment is about that long?
