[FFmpeg-user] stream simple mp4 with ffserver

[aradeonas]

Hi,

I want to stream a mp4 and for this I read about ffserver. So I
search and read ffserver documentations but still cant stream a
simple file. For this I done these: 1-A win 8 and last VLC installed.
2-A Ubuntu 13 with last ffmpeg package. 3-A ffserver.conf file saved
to /etc/ and copied from http://ffmpeg.org/sample.html (I just copy
text in a new file). 4-Run this command : ffserver -f
/etc/ffconfig.conf and this is result :

> avserver version 0.8.13-6:0.8.13-0ubuntu0.13.10.1, Copyright (c)
> 2000-2014 the Libav developers built on Jul 15 2014 13:53:49 with gcc
> 4.8.1 Tue Feb 10 07:29:07 2015 AVserver started.

5-Check http://localhost:8090/stat.html and server status is OK.It
shows me 4 stream : test1.mpg,test.asf,stat.html,index.html. 6-Run this
command : ffmpeg -i test.mp4 http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm and this
is result :

7-I look at error and I can not find why this happen and where I go
wrong!

Until now I read many sample and tutorials about ffserver but most of
them is about live streaming but I just want to stream some mp4 files.

So:

I installed real ffmpeg like this link :
http://askubuntu.com/questions/373322/how-to-replace-avconv-with-the-real-ffmpeg-and-have-it-work-right
but same error (Just change ppa to ppa:mc3man/trusty-media for
last release):

Also I test ffserver wit Fedora and that happen again.

Can any one give me exact commands that I should run for test? (I know
this is like beginners problem but I read doc and test everything as I
can but still no luck)
