[FFmpeg-user] Live stream to periscope or youtube doesn't seems to work

[Guilherme Santos]

Hi, output to file works fine.. my display server is Xvfb.

I end up with this, but still all black:

[x11grab @ 0x4627f00] 16 bits per pixel screen is not implemented. Update
your FFmpeg version to the newest one from Git. If the problem still
occurs, it means that your file has a feature which has not been
implemented.
