hmmm theres still this hacky solution by using ffserver (still alpha)
configure ffserver to ouput a flv stream
use ffmpeg to pipe the encoded jpegs to the ffserver
connect directly to ffserver to get the flv stream (actually you can
use several other formats to stream aswell)
I've tested the stuff with a step more. and it worked rather well
mplayer dumps an arbitrary stream to a file/pipe
ffmpeg pipes it to ffserver
ffserver creates streams (flv)
flashplayer connects to it.
We're dealing with the same problem here, and the biggest step is
to have a computer that's fast enough to dump an d encode at a
nice speed. we had a delay of about 10secs and more :-(
hope this helps... if you need config files just ask.
