Hi

I am trying to setup a Ubuntu server to stream live video from an IP camera and have it show on a website

The source is a mpeg4 RTSP stream direct from the camera.

I have tried using FFmepg to get the stream from the camera and pass it to FFserver to generate a FLV stream which then can played embedded on the page in a flash player (The end stream doesnt have to be a FLV but ideally would work on as many different pc's without having to install codec's etc, which is why I have gone with FLV for now)

which sort of works, I am able to see the stream and it works, however FFserver doesn't seem to reliable, sometimes the steams wont start or sometimes it starts but the stream stops after about 5 seconds

Does anyone use anything else for streaming live video broadcasts or has experience with FFmepg/FFserver that might be able to help me make it more reliable?
if you need more info then please let me know.

Thanks
