Hi,
The mp4 file is the problem. I did not follow up on that but I can stream
it with following steps:
I converted it to mpegts with
ffmpeg -v debug -i ./david-diaz.mp4 -c:v copy -c:a copy out2.ts
Then I could stream out2.ts without any problem with
ffmpeg -v debug -i ./out2.ts -c:v libx264 -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb -c:a copy
-override_ffserver http://127.0.0.1:12000/ch1.ffm
My ffserver config is:
HTTPPort 12000
HTTPBindAddress 0.0.0.0
<Feed ch1.ffm>
File /tmp/ch1.ffm
FileMaxSize 64M
ACL allow 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255
</Feed>
<Stream ch1.ts>
Feed ch1.ffm
</Stream>
<Stream status.html>
Format status
ACL allow 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255
</Stream>
