I am working on the application which plays liveTV stream sent from
LinuxBox.
I am using ffmpeg and ffserver to send out live feeds via RTSP, but it
does not work and mediaPlayer gives me an error message "Sorry, this
video can not be played". I am passing the URL such as "rtsp://<IP>:
5454/test.mp4".

These are the two commands I run on my linux box.

ffserver -d -f ffserver.conf
ffmpeg -i /dev/video1 http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm

Here's the configuration file (ffserver.conf) I am using.

#Port on which the server is listening. You must select a different
# port from your standard HTTP web server if it is running on the same
# computer.
Port 8090

RTSPPort 5454

# Address on which the server is bound. Only useful if you have
# several network interfaces.
BindAddress 0.0.0.0

# Number of simultaneous HTTP connections that can be handled. It has
# to be defined *before* the MaxClients parameter, since it defines
the
# MaxClients maximum limit.
#MaxHTTPConnections 2000

# Number of simultaneous requests that can be handled. Since FFServer
# is very fast, it is more likely that you will want to leave this
high
# and use MaxBandwidth, below.
MaxClients 1000

# This the maximum amount of kbit/sec that you are prepared to
# consume when streaming to clients.
MaxBandwidth 5000

# Access log file (uses standard Apache log file format)
# '-' is the standard output.
CustomLog -

# Suppress that if you want to launch ffserver as a daemon.
NoDaemon

# Definition of the live feeds. Each live feed contains one video
# and/or audio sequence coming from an ffmpeg encoder or another
# ffserver. This sequence may be encoded simultaneously with several
# codecs at several resolutions.

<Feed feed1.ffm>

# You must use 'ffmpeg' to send a live feed to ffserver. In this
# example, you can type:
#
#ffmpeg http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm

# ffserver can also do time shifting. It means that it can stream any
# previously recorded live stream. The request should contain:
# "http://xxxx?date=[YYYY-MM-DDT][[HH:]MM:]SS[.m...]".You must specify
# a path where the feed is stored on disk. You also specify the
# maximum size of the feed, where zero means unlimited. Default:
# File=/tmp/feed_name.ffm FileMaxSize=5M
File /tmp/feed1.ffm
FileMaxSize 100M

# You could specify
# ReadOnlyFile /saved/specialvideo.ffm
# This marks the file as readonly and it will not be deleted or
updated.

# Specify launch in order to start ffmpeg automatically.
# First ffmpeg must be defined with an appropriate path if needed,
# after that options can follow, but avoid adding the http:// field
#Launch ffmpeg

# Only allow connections from localhost to the feed.
#ACL allow 127.0.0.1

</Feed>

##################################################################
# RTSP examples
#
# You can access this stream with the RTSP URL:
#   rtsp://localhost:5454/test1-rtsp.mpg
#
# A non-standard RTSP redirector is also created. Its URL is:
#   http://localhost:8090/test1-rtsp.rtsp

<Stream test2.mp4>
Feed feed1.ffm
Format rtp
#File "/var/videos/testVideos/test.mpg"
VideoFrameRate 15
VideoCodec mpeg4
VideoSize qvga
VideoBitRate 256
VideoBufferSize 40000
VideoGopSize 12
AudioCodec aac
AudioBitRate 32
AudioChannels 1
</Stream>

I know that Orb can send live tv feed to the android using RTSP/3gp
format.
I am wondering whether I can do the same using ffmpeg and ffserver.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.
