[FFmpeg-user] FFmpeg error while streaming to RTSP server

[sujith]

Hi All,

I am very much new to Streaming.  what I am trying to do is to stream a
static file over RTSP server.

Steps that I am doing.
*
1) My config file for the ffserver is as below:*
RTSPPort 8544
<Feed feed2.ffm>
   File /home/xyz/tmp/feed2.ffm
   FileMaxSize 200K
   ACL allow 127.0.0.1
</Feed>
<Stream test.sdp>
   File "/home/user/test.mp4"
   Format rtsp
   StartSendOnKey
</Stream>
*Note:* Some of the things are omitted.

2) I started the FFserver, and then try to connect to the server using below
command from my vlc client"
    with command: rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8544/test.sdp

*I get the logs as:*

But, my VLC client is not able to connect and it says: "You input cannot be
opened."

Second thing that I was trying to do was to provide the feed to the ffserver
through ffmpeg
for that,* I was using the config file as:*

    Port 8090
    RTSPPort 8544

    <Feed feed2.ffm>
       File /home/xyz/tmp/feed2.ffm
       FileMaxSize 200K
       ACL allow 127.0.0.1
    </Feed>

    <Stream test.sdp>
       Feed feed2.ffm
       Format rtsp
       VideoFrameRate 15
       VideoSize 352x240
       VideoBitRate 256
       VideoBufferSize 40
       VideoGopSize 30
       AudioBitRate 64
       StartSendOnKey
    </Stream>

*Note:* some of the things are omitted.

1) start the server
2) ffmpeg -i /home/user/test.mp4 http://localhost:8888/feed2.ffm

*It gives the error:*
