[ffserver-user] ffserver file-streaming H.264

[Meng-Ping Kao]

Hi Naz,

    Thanks a lot for the response. Just one more question about the ffserver
feed streaming. Is the client able to play from the beginning whenever he
requests? This is a video on demand feature I want and the ffserver file
streaming does provide it. That's why I went with the file streaming and
encountered the flv + H.264 problem. Is feed streaming able to do video on
demand? Thanks for the help.

Best,

Ben
