[FFserver-user] Got working webm ffserver.conf. Looking for working libx264 ffserver.conf

[tps]

Dear All, 

Do you have a working ffserver.conf that will live stream x264 video and 
play on iPad? If so could you please post it here! 

I have tried with several options and I have got ffserver to start and 
allow for ffmpeg to send data to the ffserver feed. But when I try to play 
the stream I get:
mplayer: Invalid seek to negative position
ffplay: http://localhost:8090/test.rtsp: Invalid data found when processing 
input
When I stop ffserver and try to play the feed directly, ie. ffplay 
/tmp/feed1.tmp I get a lot of:
[h264 @ 0x27c7be0] non-existing PPS 0 referenced
[h264 @ 0x27c7be0] decode_slice_header error
[h264 @ 0x27c7be0] no frame! 

Here is the command to send data to the ffserver feed (I get video from a 
dv camera). I also show first part of the output:

I do have a working ffserver.conf for webm and from the ffserver stat.html 
I am able to click the stream link and watch live webm video. This works 
for both Firefox and Chrome.

Any help on getting a working libx264 ffserver.conf would be very much 
apprecieated! 

Thanks
