[FFserver-user] not able to replay video from .ffm recorded earlier

[Robert Steckroth]

Also, I believe there is a file size limit in the conf which will need
to be set high. Than you will need to rotate
the recorded file. If you do not copy and empty the file, it will
become corrupted. Keep in mind, if you
simply empty the file e.g. cat > temp.ts, than you need to restart the
ffserver to insert the proper
headers.
