When will ffserver.c be updated with the following fix?
You get a bind error see attached description. The fix does work.
Distribution: Ubuntu 11.10
Bind(port 8090): Invalid argument error in ffserver patch found
I was getting this error with ffserver failing to start on the latest
release on the latest Ubuntu(11.10) and still got it when I rolled back
to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with the latest ffmpeg from git and also when I
tried an older release of ffmpeg. Lots of Googling yielded no answer
until I found this Russian site and thanks to Google Translate, was able
to read this patch. If you open ffserver.c in a text editor, and find
the text below(it is around line number 4000 or so), this is where
you'll make a small edit. Insert the line with the "+"(without including
the "+" of course) save the changes and recompile(make). It worked for
me.
Code:
my_http_addr.sin_port = htons(val);
+ my_http_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
} else if (!strcasecmp(cmd, "BindAddress")) {
get_arg(arg, sizeof(arg), &p);
if (resolve_host(&my_http_addr.sin_addr, arg) != 0) {
Pat,
