Here I do the following: cat swfjpg.conf #----------------------------------------------FFserver conf begin Port 8080 BindAddress 0.0.0.0 CustomLog - <Stream test.jpg> Format jpeg VideoFrameRate 2 VideoIntraOnly </Stream> <Stream test.swf> Format swf VideoFrameRate 2 VideoIntraOnly </Stream> <Stream stat.html> Format status </Stream> #-------------------------------------------------FFserver conf end Then: ffserver -f swfjpg.conf netscape http://localhost:8080/stat.html Then u can choose the formats: jpeg or swf. Now all u have to do is embed flash in index page: <EMBED src="http://ffserver-adress:8080/test.swf"; width=128 height=96 type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></EMBED> -------------------------------------------Done! streaming video! :) Unfortunely, there are some problems: - Here at home I can see jpg but swf is not working. I think I dont have enough processor power (pentium 200 Mhz) to run ffserver _and_ netscape. - At work I can generate / see the flash stream (K6 450Mhz, overclocked :) But I managed to crash (!) some windoze ME machines. (Picture this: boss -> "Marco, come here. QUICK" . I hate M$.) Linux/Nestcape/flash4, NT and win95 works OK. Maybe a problem with new flash 5 ? So I put a jpeg link on index page: <a href="/path/to/swf-page.html">Live stream: <img src=http://ffserver-adress:8080/test.jpg> </a> and moved the embed code above to swf-page.html page. At least the Win ME crash _after_ the user click on link, not on IE loading my index page. This is a example of how bad is lack of source code. - FFserver generate log based on gethostbyname. I use squid here, so all request seems to come from 127.0.0.1 :-( I wish ffserver could read X-FORWARDED-FOR env. variable. > Defnitley a delightfull offer this FFSERVER > Bye Bye Spare Network Bandwidth :) Oh, BTW, say goodbye to your processor power too :) Maybe a SMP machine could do a better job. I hope u find this info useful. Sucess/failure report are welcome. Regards, Marco -- > Oh my God! They kill INIT! You bastard!
