[FFmpeg-user] Problem using FFMpeg, x11grab, and FFServer

[Joel Longanecker]

Hey guys. Trying an experiment with FFMpeg. The end goal is to serve the
output of an xvfb session over the web and display it on a web page. I
think i've narrowed down my problem to the parameters I am calling ffmpeg
with.

    ffmpegProcess = subprocess.Popen(['ffmpeg',
'-f', 'x11grab',
'-r', '25',
'-s', '640x480',
'-i', ':1.0',
'-pix_fmt', 'yuv420p',
'-preset', 'medium',
'http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm'])

and here is my steam that I am trying to serve.

    <Stream live.flv>
Feed feed1.ffm
        Format flv
        VideoCodec libx264

        AVOptionVideo crf 18

        AVOptionVideo preset ultrafast

        NoAudio

        VideoSize 640x480
    </Stream>

And here are the errors I am getting.

    Stream mapping:
      Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (rawvideo -> libx264)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
