[FFserver-user] stream - minimize delay

[Victor Petrescu]

That's the first version I tried and it just hangs. Doesn't stream anything,
nor return error. After about 2 weeks of researching why it does that I
found the version with the mplayer, witch works.

The entire goals is to stream with vlc from a computer to a server and then
again so that step can not be bypassed.

If you can tell me how to do it so the ffmpeg works directly with the stream
without mplayer i'd be gladly to skip that step.
