  ffserver + mplayer

  Posted by Giorgio Ascani on March 2, 2011 at 7:53 pm

  Hi,

  I’m trying to use ffmpeg / ffserver to create a RTSP server.

  What I do is:

  ————————————
  $./ffserver -f ffserver.conf
  ————————————

  with the following ffserver.conf:

  #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 8091

  # RTSP Port

  RTSPPort 7654

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

  # 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.

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

  RTSPBindAddress 0.0.0.0

  # 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 1000

  # 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

  Format rtp
  File "/home/marco/Videos/11.mpg"

  Format rtp
  File "/home/marco/Videos/12.mpg"

  Format rtp
  File "/home/marco/Videos/13.mpg"

  And I get:

  ———————————————————
  Then i try to play the video with mplayer:

  —————————————————-
  $mplayer rtsp://localhost:7654/11.mpg
  —————————————————-

  The problem is that mplayer show:

  —————————————————-

  mplayer: could not connect to socket
  mplayer: No such file or directory

  and the ffserver show:
