Why the behaviour of ffserver is not consistent. Do I need to feed server through ffmpeg encoder continuously or can I feed it once and play the file from multiple clients many times?ffmpeg ought to be able to read the ffm file and be able to output to something that other players can read. And, provided that the data is being buffered in the ffm file (File path set properly and FileMaxSize big enough to hold all the data) you can feed multiple clients at different times. You may need to specify the time that you are trying to seek to in your http: request.
I'm not sure what you mean by feed the file each time you start the client. The way ffserver is supposed to work is it is fed incoming data through an instance of ffmpeg, which may optionally be started automatically by the server. The ffmpeg instance takes the usual arguments -i indicating the source (I use - for stdin to capture a live firewire feed) and the output file is the .ffm URL specified in the ffserver configuration. This data is placed in the .ffm file and can be read out by any client, using the URL(s) specified for the streams in the ffserver.conf file, at any time so long as
1) ffserver is still running 2) the requested video segment is in the ffm file.I use ffserver to timeshift the live video. I can specify what time I want to start playback at using a url like http://w.x.y.x/stream1.mpg?date=20120906T15:53:00 to play back the video that was *recorded* at 15:53 today.
