Dear All,
I can't make ffserver work.
Any help would be appreciated!
Here is what I have done!
1. My pc is a Ubuntu 11.04
2. Download lastest ffmpeg as of 27. Mar. 2012.
3. ./configure and make
4. Start ffserver in a terminal with default ffserver.conf
tps@T420:~/data/ffmpeg$ ./ffserver -loglevel debug -f doc/ffserver.conf

and score=101
Tue Mar 27 12:19:45 2012 FFserver started.
5. In another terminal I call ffmpeg with dv camera attached and ffmpeg
starts to send data to ffserver.

12. I try to close all programs, ffplay, ffmpeg and ffserver and start all
over again but this time I don't even get video the first time!
