**prkhr4u** · November 14th, 2013

I want to live stream from an IP camera and am using ffserver for this.
here is my ffserver.conf file:

Code:

# if you want to use mpegts format instead of flv
# then change "live.flv" to "live.ts"
# and also change "Format flv" to "Format mpegts"

when i start ffserver using :

Code:

ffserver -d -f /etc/ffserver.conf

I get the following output:

Incorrect config file - exiting.

Don't know what is wrong .
Pl also tell how to connect my input source to ffserver.My Ipcamera address is: 169.254.75.39
and i am thinking of using something like:

Code:

ffmpeg -i rtsp://169.254.75.39/ -vcodec -f http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm

I've never used ffserver, but have you seen Streaming media with ffserver?

**prkhr4u** · November 15th, 2013

I am using this wiki only and most of the code is from there.

**FakeOutdoorsman** · November 15th, 2013

Code:

/etc/ffserver.conf:29: Unknown AudioCodec: libfaac

I missed this earlier: you don't have libfaac support. Luckily you don't need it because libfdk_aac is better which you can use.

Change:

Code:

AudioCodec libfaac

To:

Code:

AudioCodec libfdk_aac

There is no "default" preset, as far as I know (again, I'm ignorant of ffserver), so you can change:

Code:

AVPresetVideo default

To:

Code:

AVPresetVideo medium

Or try omitting it altogether. I don't know what to do about baseline. Try omitting it. Looks like ticket #1275 is relevant here.

I have ommitted both the presets and now i am able to run ffserver well.
I have used NoAudio in .conf file as i do not require the audio element

But when i use:

Code:

ffmpeg -i rtsp://169.254.75.39:554/live.sdp http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm

to connect my input source,it returns me an error.The complete output is as follows:
