My first reaction is that I am up to maintaining it and I hope that I am up to the task. Of course help from other people that are experienced in network stuff is greatly appreciated.

[FFmpeg-devel] [GSoC] FFserver: Add HLS and DASH
This patchset took embarrassingly long to produce. I first took a few wrong turns, but I think I'm now at a point where I reached the limits of the public server API in libavformat. The main problem is that I cannot set options on clients that are accepted through http_accept(), for example a timeout on socket operations, as currently a client that disconnects while being sent a file causes the sending thread to loop infintely in a poll()-call. I wonder if adding a different library handling the http server (as planned for the future) would be better done now rather than later. Another bug I cannot really explain so far (that may be because of my unfamiliarity with DASH) is that with longer files the DASH stream starts to repeat some fragments (at least in mpv) in weird ways. HLS does not have this problem. Another thing that is not yet handled are unmuxable codecs. The patchset also includes some cleanup and other various fixes. ___ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
