Hi I have successfully got FFserver streaming the video from my Webcam and muxing it with the audio from the input from an attached microphone.
It works well.....but the delay is terrible. Around about 5 seconds on the video and something crazy like more than 30 seconds on the audio. I have tried messing with PreRoll, ?buffer=X and limiting the size of FileMaxSize, but it doesn't seem to have any effect at all. I guess the easiest thing would be to stream the rawvideo and audio from the Webcam / Microphone - but from what I have read, FFserver doesn't support this :( Does anyone have any suggestions for decreasing this delay? Is the delay linked to the power of the CPU at all? For reference, this is the stream format I am using for FFserver in ffserver.conf: <Stream test.flv> Feed feed1.ffm Format flv VideoCodec flv AudioBitRate 8 VideoBitRate 128 VideoFrameRate 5 VideoSize 640x480 PreRoll 0 </Stream> This is the command I use for FFmpeg (I call it using the Launch command in ffserver.conf). ffmpeg -f oss -i /dev/dsp -r 5 -s 640x480 -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 On a side note, from reading the ffserver archives, it seems that development of ffserver has stalled somewhat and many posts on various forums recommend using vlc to stream instead of FFserver. Any comments on this from anyone (I don't want to invest loads of time trying to get FFserver to work if it is slowly being sidelined)? Cheers Rupert ################################
