so one feed can have one video or multiple videos?can I fed same feed through an instance of ffmpeg multiple times(if I do this the size of feed keeps increasing.is the feed storing duplicate videos)? In this case what will happen to the data previously fed to the feed? The problem I am facing is that sometimes my client(say ffplay) plays the file from start that was fed through ffmpeg.sometimes it does not. If i repeat the operation of feeding the feed through ffmpeg and accessing the file through a client then ffserver starts giving me following error: Application provided invalid, non monotonically increasing dts to muxer in stream 0(or 1) Error writing frame to output Is there any way through which I can find out what has been stored in the feed?
