ffserver

I am trying to stream video and audio from my webcam connected to my headless Ubuntu server (running Maverick 10.10). I want to be able to stream in WebM format (VP8 video + OGG). Bandwidth is limited, and so the stream must be below 1Mbps. I have tried using FFmpeg. I am able to record WebM video from the webcam with the following: ffmpeg -s 640x360 \ -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 -isync -vcodec libvpx -vb 768000 -r 10 -vsync 1 \ -f alsa -ac 1 -i hw:1,0 -acodec libvorbis -ab 32000 -ar 11025 \ -f webm /var/www/telemed/test.webm However despite experimenting with all manner of vsync and async

I have set up a server and video streaming so that I can connect to the stream with ffplay using the following command line: ffplay rtmp://<IP>/path Is it possible to use QMediaPlayer QMediaContent or something to connect to this stream? Or maybe any other kind of stream I can create with ffserver. using the same path as with ffplay results in "Unsupported url scheme!" With further experiments i have tried ffserver http server streaming, but that ended with Qt crashing in MFStreamer::doRead() Apparently it should have called BeginRead for MFStreamer but it didn't. How do i play video streams

So to record webcam video with ffmpeg on linux you may use something like... ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -s 640x480 -i /dev/video0 out.avi But on a mac this doesn't work, so i was wondering how do you record with the isight with ffmpeg on a mac? I've researched and a lot of people said it can't be done, but most of these posts are really old so i'm wondering if it's changed since then. Updated: current (Aug 2014) version of ffmpeg supports QTKit and AVKit frameworks: ffmpeg -f qtkit -video_device_index 0 -i "" out.mpg or ffmpeg -f qtkit -i "default" out.mpg also you can obtain list of available

In iPhone OS 3, Apple has introduced HTTP Live Streaming which should allow live streaming of video from the internet. I am currently operating a webcam, which feeds into my server, and is then converted into a flv stream by ffmpeg, and streamed back out using ffserver. Does anyone know how to setup a video stream the iPhone can use using ffmpeg and ffserver? I should be able to re-encode into just about any format on the fly. You'll need to build a copy of ffmpeg with a version >= e109a29d6ddb02b2dd58c6c385ebec27f2d23b58 (git) or 18793 (svn). Make sure you also specify the --enable-libx264
