personal log: make my own media center

rcd my own path , on building my own media center. Use ffserver ,ffmpeg;  May not be helpful for u . It's nothing but the bugs i'v meet & tasks I'v made.

------------------------------------------CONTENT-----------------------------------------------------

1, TASK: MODIFY ffserver.c , to free it from config file;

......

1), done. BUT NOT WORK;
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

2,TASK: FIND BUG, MAKE IT WORK;

test one:
1) i have type ffserver -/home/carlyle/Documents/prvt/pro/thsuus.wmv
not work;
reason: i have installed ffser globally ;

use : ./ffserver <Path > ;  to call the one i made;

BUG FIXED:  [see log , "http_server called"]

2)BUG: video cant play: log on server: Unspecified feed file for stream

read source file , found!
reason: stream->feed_filename[0] : though stream , feed_filename not assigned ;
file_name is the short name  of file;
feed_filename : is the abs path of the file;

3)BUG: cant play mp4;
reason: stream format set wrong :[i didn't load config file , stream format used [guess format ], this stream format was set to 'mp4';]
I set format as rtp [for mpg ]
it works on UBUNTU player;

4)i tested it on Nexus 5 (5.0 OS); Use videoView for simple , cost long time for preparing video . when played, only sound can be heard;

[LOG:

Though, my server is running ,& my palyer rcvd RTSP packet ,VIDEO PLAYS  NOT SMOOTHLY. 

]

TODO: Y & HOW?

3,TASK : USE CAM AS THE VIDEO SOURCE;

i use origin ffserver & ffmpeg on another pc; [thus i need to config the server]

trying to use my modified ffserver.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

TASK 4: MODIFY ffserver for cam;

bug 1):["No streams to mux were specified"]

reason : [feed . nb_streams ==0];

bug4:Value 0.000000 for parameter 'bt' out of range
reason: build_feed_streams>>avformat_open_input>>av_opt_set_defaults>>av_opt_set_defaults2>>write_number
[oops , not finished today!]

first launch:  no such bug;
bug 5:Missing audio stream which is required by this ffm
reason :  i Audio info is not assigned;
fix: add NoAudio


bug 6:[Either both buffer size and max rate or neither must be specified]
