I grab the image from my camera using ffmpeg and the following command:
ffmpeg -y -f vfwcap -r 25 -i 0 http://10.172.180.235:8090/feed2.ffm
and on other machine (with the ip mentioned above) I have the ffserver running with the following config file:
HttpPort 8090
HttpBindAddress 0.0.0.0
MaxHTTPConnections 2000
MaxClients 1000
MaxBandwidth 3000

And that works, I can stream video in flv over http... But now I would like to use rtmp, becase I want to display the live stream on my webpage with some player. I wanted to use the video.js, but it seems like in the latest versions it doesn't support live video any more... I found mediaelement.js, but to stream live content there I need the rtmp protocol, so that's the cause of my question. Thanks for your help
