[FFmpeg-user] ffserver to iOs and Android

[Damian Głodny]

Sorry for little offtopic. Is ffserver still in active development? Is
ffserver enough stable to use it in production in professional environment?

ffserver is useful if you want to stream real-time RTSP or HTTP streams, so
it can be useful if you have an RTSP or HTTP client on the target device.

I also had some limited success with webm files, but there are a few
limitations in ffserver which make it harder than expected to produce them
(I can provide some details if you want).

As for iOS, an alternative is HLS which doesn't require a streaming server,
and should also be supported in later versions of Android, but is not able
to provide real-time streams (you alwasy have some delay, which is OK for
non interactive content).
