theres a think blue horizontal line with the text 'Select a test stream....'
immediately under that there's an url which plays a big buck bunny
cartoon. You can delete the url and substitute another. (mine)

thanks I tried
AddType application/x-mpegURL .m3u8
> AddType video/MP2T .ts

but it made no difference, the video still will not play in google chrome.
I'm convinced the problem is with google chrome and flash player. My
ffmpeg command incorporates 'f -flv' and google chrome doesn't like
this. I've also tried 'f -mpegts' and 'f -mpeg', the command runs ok
but there's video in anything. I need to substitute 'f -flv' with
something else but i don't know what.
