Hi,

I am trying to watch live feeds from remote camera through android mobile
by connecting to ffserver .

I have tried using 3GP and MP4 containers , *but for both I am getting
"muxer does not support non seekable output" .*

*I would like to know which format should I use for watching live feeds in
mobile* .
I did a web search and found that MP4 and 3GP formats are most widely used
but using these formats give me error .

Below are few more details for your reference :

1.Command used by me to post the live feeds to ffserver -
ffmpeg -f v4l2 -r 25 -s 320*240 -i /dev/video0 -b:v 215k
http://myserverip:port/feed1.ffm

2.ffserver feed and stream details
<Feed feed1.ffm>
File /tmp/feed1.ffm
FileMaxSize 20M
</Feed>

<Stream Live.h264>
Feed feed1.ffm
Format 3gp
VideoCodec libx264
VideoFrameRate 25
VideoBitRate 215
VideoQMin 1
VideoQMax 5
VideoSize 320*240

</Stream>

Hi,
Since , ffserver is not supported I configured rtmp module in nginx .But
still want to know which format to use for watching live stream in android
mobile.

flv is seekable but not supported by android.

mp4 and 3gp are not seekable but supported by android.

Hence, I am not able to use any of the above formats for live streaming.

You may want to look into using hls.

For usage reference, see:

ffmpeg -h muxer=hls
