Why cant I feed FFServer(Linux) from FFMpeg (Windows)?

1.4k Views Asked by At

What I want to do is to stream a (only)video file from Windows 10 using RTSP. First, I tried to use webm HTTP instead. I found that ffserver is not avaiable for Windows, so I configured and run ffserver on a Linux machine (Ubuntu 16.04). Then, I downloaded pre-built ffmpeg for Windows x64 and run a ffmpeg command to feed my rtsp server. The fact is that the command didnt work on my Windows machine

The same ffmpeg command works well if I run it in my Linux machine.

The details are descripted below:

ffserver.conf file:

HTTPPort 8090                     
HTTPBindAddress 0.0.0.0
MaxHTTPConnections 2000
MaxClients 1000
MaxBandwidth 10000

ffmpeg command to feed server:

ffmpeg -i video.avi http://192.168.0.119:8090/feed1.ffm

Error thrown by Windows command line:

 Unable to find a suitable output format for 'http://192.168.0.119:8090/feed1.ffm' .
 http://192.168.0.119:8090/feed1.ffm : Invalid argument.

Someone told me that Windows newest version of FFMpeg doesnt support ffm, Is that true? I couldnt find a different format example.
