How to "Output to URL"

Hello.
I am relatively new to OBS Studio, I am getting to know it.
I would like to be able to live stream the video output of OBS Studio to a specific host:port.
I found in the Internet a few YouTube videos and articles for that purpose. They state all the same, which I will resume in the following:

Settings > Output > Output Mode: Advanced > Recording >
> Type: Custom output (FFmpeg)
> FFmpeg output type: Output to url.
> File path or URL: udp://receiving.host.ip:port
> Container Format: mpegts
> Container Format Description: MPEG-TS

When I tried to apply those settings to my version of OBS Studio, which is 30.2.2, I found that I cannot set it as above:
► About "Container Format" OBS Studio just shows the following values: Default Format (which I used), 3g2, 3gp, a64 and a few others, but not mpegts.
► About "Container Format Description" OBS Studio says "Audio/Video Codec guessed from file path or URL"
! I used the URL: udp://127.0.0.1:9000

When I "Start recording" with such settings I get the error message:
"An unspecified error occured while recording.
Could not find matching output format with parameters: name=(NULL), url=udp://127.0.0.1:9000, mime=(NULL)"

I made some other searches in the Internet but it was only frustrating.
I hope someone could help. Thanks.

For me, this is a very long drop down list that definitely includes mpegts. Either you checked the wrong drop down list, or you didn't scroll, or your install of OBS is defective (in this case, a reinstall would help). If the issue persists, please post a screenshot that includes the open drop down list.

I am very sorry. You are perfectly right: I did not scroll.
What a shame! :-)
Koala, thanks a lot for your patience and your kind reply to my silly thread! :-)
