ffserver is only supposed to be a live streamer. It does support time-shifting in its ffm files, but it doesn't work very well.

If you want to set up a VOD server, I would recommend having a local script that starts ffserver and then ffmpeg on a given file, and then calling that script from your web site. You can make one script for start and another for stop. Unfortunately, you won't be able to seek if you do it this way.

Alternatively, you could convert your media collection to h264+mp3 or h264+aac and then play them as normal using flowplayer, no need for ffserver. This would be the way I'd go, as it would allow full seeking and other controls.

Hi everybody,
I'm start to use ffserver to play video form my internal web server with an 
flash player (flowplayer). But following the documentation on the ffserver 
website, I can only streaming in live mode. FFserver support also the OnDeamnd 
streaming mode? If yes there is some documentation?
Thanks a lot.

Alexander
