[FFserver-user] working configuration for transcoding of mjpeg stream to h264

[Rakesh Shivayya Guttedar -ERS, HCL Tech]

Hi,

I want to setup a streaming server using ffmpeg and ffserver.
I have an mjpeg feed from an IP camera as input. I need to transcode this to h264 using ffmpeg and restream it using ffserver.
Have any one tried this before?. What is the working configuration in ffserver conf file and ffmpeg command line?

This is what I have tried and so far I am not much successful.

Configuration in ffserver:

Port 8090
MaxHTTPConnections 2000
MaxClients 1000
MaxBandwidth 10000
NoDaemon

<Feed feed1.ffm>
File /tmp/feed1.ffm
FileMaxSize 200K
ACL allow 127.0.0.1
</Feed>

<Stream test1.mp4>
Feed feed1.ffm
Format rtp
NoAudio

</Stream>
Ffmpeg command:
ffmpeg  -f mjpeg -i "http://cameraIP/videostream.cgi?user=something&pwd=something" -vpre lossless_ultrafast -vcodec libx264 -an  -r 27 -s 160x240 http://127.0.0.1:8090/feed1.ffm

here is the output of the ffmpeg command:
[mjpeg @ 0x9cedb00] max_analyze_duration 5000000 reached at 5000000

Vlc Player is not able to play this stream.

Some inputs will be helpful to me.
