How to do Simple video streaming with ffserver on windows?

I found a tutorial for configuring server here http://www.organicdesign.co.nz/Simple_video_streaming_with_ffserver

but 开发者_JAVA百科it is for linux... how to do such thing on windows? (with a real web cam)

Dont think ffserver exists on windows, my suggestion is to set up a linux box(ubuntu?) and play with ffserver there :)

Although, I too have read, in older posts, that builds for Windows are non-existing, this morning I found (not me, but google) this blog: https://www.virag.si/2012/11/streaming-live-webm-video-with-ffmpeg/

Comes with a small guide also!

But as an alternative to ffserver, I would recommend rtmplite (you need python, but is extremely easy to use - at least in dev), or if you have java experience and alot of patience and time, red5!

download and install ICECAST server. It works for windows and ffmpeg and lets you live stream a video in mp4 and webm which you can publish and showcase online with html and php. Its the easiest way. I wish someone had told me this but I had to figure this out, thru trial and error. If this doesn't work for you type live stream server software on google search engine. http://icecast.org/ code that should configure it with ffmpeg https://www.ffmpeg.org/doxygen/2.4/icecast_8c_source.html. ffserver does no work for windows and its a huge waste of time.
