It supports -several live feeds, streaming from files and time shifting on live -feeds (you can seek to positions in the past on each live feed, -provided you specify a big enough feed storage in ffserver.conf). - -1) Quick help - -- First you must ensure that your grab system is OK. Verify with - 'xawtv' that your TV card is tuned on a correct video source. - -- Try with ffmpeg that you can record correctly. For example: - - ffmpeg /tmp/a.mpg - -will record a ten seconds mpeg file from your TV card and audio -card. Use for example the mpegtv player or MPlayer to view the created -MPEG file. - -- Launch ffserver on your PC with the sample config file: - - ffserver -f doc/ffserver.conf - -- Verify with your browser that ffserver is working correctly. For - that purpose, explore: http://localhost:8090/stat.html . - -- Now launch ffmpeg to do real time encoding : - - ffmpeg http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm - -- Then, use your favorite players to see each generated stream: - - mtvp http://localhost:8090/test1.mpg - - mpg123 http://localhost:8090/test.mp2 - - netscape http://localhost:8090/test.swf - - realplayer http://localhost:8090/test.rm - - etc... - - Note that ffserver generates multiple streams in multiple formats AT - THE SAME TIME. It should be able to handle hundreds of users at the - same time if you internet connection is fast enough. - -- Now you can configure ffserver for your real needs. Edit the - ffserver.conf file to use only the formats you want. Read the ffmpeg - documentation (ffmpeg.txt) to learn more about the codec and format - stuff. - -- Report any bug you find (and the fix if you have it!). - -2) URL Format - - ffserver supports that you seek in some formats. The syntax is to - add a '?' option to the URL. Only the 'date' option is supported. - - The date format is [YYYY-MM-DDT][[HH:]MM:]SS[.m...] (clost to ISO - date format). For live streams, the date is absolute and give in - GMT. If the day is not specified, the current day is used. - - example: - - mpg123 http://localhost:8090/test.mp2?date=10:00 - - play the stream starting at 10:00 AM GMT today. - - mpg123 http://localhost:8090/test.mp2?date=2001-06-23T23:00 - - is also a valid date. - - For file streams, the date is relative to the start of the file. No - day can be specified. - - |
