How to do Simple video streaming with ffserver on windows?

Question

I found a tutorial for configuring server here http://www.organicdesign.co.nz/Simple_video_streaming_with_ffserver

but it is for linux... how to do such thing on windows? (with a real web cam)

Solution 1

Dont think ffserver exists on windows, my suggestion is to set up a linux box(ubuntu?) and play with ffserver there :)

Solution 2

Although, I too have read, in older posts, that builds for Windows are non-existing, this morning I found (not me, but google) this blog: https://www.virag.si/2012/11/streaming-live-webm-video-with-ffmpeg/

Comes with a small guide also!

But as an alternative to ffserver, I would recommend rtmplite (you need python, but is extremely easy to use - at least in dev), or if you have java experience and alot of patience and time, red5!
