I am using ffmpeg (libavformat) in an embedded application, which is
based upon a H264 hardware encoder. I record the audio and video into
a matroska container. No problem there. My problem is with the live
streaming. I need to stream over http (and eventually https). I am
currently streaming an ASF container, that's the only way I found to
have the live streaming working. On the device, I generate an ASF
stream on the fly for the sole purpose of streaming (the device is not
always recording, but can stream all the time), which I then send over
http (I use a fifo instead of a real file: one task produces the ASF
stream, the other one send it over http). It works like a charm with
ASF, I can stream for hours. Unfortunately, I have been unable to have
it working with the Matroska format. When I send the MKV 'file', the
player on the other side (vlc) never start to play.
Is there a way I can use the Matroska format for live streaming ?
Am I missing something ?
Note that I can stream a file being currently recorded, this works
actually.
I mean, I can send the file being recorded through http, it will be
played by vlc
Maybe the fact that I am using a FIFO for live streaming (wichh
prevents lseek operations) is the issue?
TIA for any advices or pointers!

Anybody has some thought about this ?
