- First, html5 video tags do not work for live video streams. They are only 
for static video files. You might be able to get it to work with Chrome, but 
that would just be dumb luck. Just because ffmpeg can use http as a transport 
doesn't mean that's how it works with a browser.

- Second, even if it was the way live html5 video streaming is supposed to 
work, this is a fantastically terrible means of doing so because as soon as 
the socket connection is dropped on the client side, the fd on the server side 
output will block and result in the process killing itself.

- Third, even if you did get a clue and read the documentation you've been 
pointed to and realize that you need to set this up with ffserver rather than 
ffmpeg if you want to make more than one connection, it would still suck donky 
nads because it's not segmented which totally defeats any web cache 
functionality.

- MPEG-DASH + MSE is the only way you're going to get a live video source 
working in html5, and even then the live profile for ffmpeg's DASH manifest 
generator isn't 100% compliant with the spec. Now go RTFM and stop top 
posting.
