+ at item -thread_message_queue @var{size} (@emph{input})
+This option sets the maximum number of queued packets when reading from the

+discarded if they are not read in a timely manner; raising this value can
+avoid it.

 Overrides the input specifications from @command{ffserver}. Using this
 option you can map any input stream to @command{ffserver} and control
