[FFserver-user] Got working webm ffserver.conf. Looking for working libx264 ffserver.conf

[Thomas Seilund]

Dear All,

Live streaming to iPhone and iPad! I now use HTTP Live Streaming, HLS. 
Based on the HLS I use ffserver to do the WebM stream. That way I 
support Safari on iPad and iPhone and Firefox and Chrome on Windows and 
Linux. I have details here - http://www.netmaster.dk/LiveStreaming

Thanks
