This is a simple ffserver example. What is needed to run it:

• ffmpeg
• lunch (https://launchpad.net/~sat-metalab/+archive/metalab)

The lunch script ensures that that the ffserver/ffmpeg pair runs and will relaunch either software in case of a crash. The ffserver software creates a flash movie stream. The ffmpeg creates the input for the ffserver. In current configuration it reads the first available camera and default audio input.

• put ffserver.conf in /etc
• Edit lunchrc to suit your needs:
  • Change the IP global variable to point to the server on which ffmpeg will run
  • Maybe change your ffmpeg settings.

Usage: ./launchit.sh

Notes: Yes, I wish ffserver could do ogg/thora but apparently it cannot. So we are stuck with flash.
