Don't forget to look at the vp8 encoding options provided by the webmproject site. You can check it out at: Google: mirovideoconverterįFMPEG is a command line tool and I found it to be the most up-to-date in keeping up with the webmd project. Google: Arista Transcoderįor Windows & Linux: Miro Video Converter is also free and open source with a very slick GUI. Open source software available to use vp8 and vp9 codec for linux is Arista for the gnome desktop. This ffmpeg command is executed on the machine previously referred to as server_ip (it handles the actual mpeg -> webm conversion and feeds it back into the ffserver on a different feed): ffmpeg -i -vcodec libvpx Once these have all been started up (first the ffserver, then the feeder_ip ffmpeg process then then the server_ip ffmpeg process) you should be able to access the live stream at and check the status at Hope this helps. Note this is configured for a server at feeder_ip to execute the aforementioned ffmpeg command, and for the server at server_ip so server to client_low_ip through client_high_ip while handling the mpeg to webm conversation on server_ip (continued below).The '-f video4linux2 -standard ntsc -i /dev/video0' portion of that may change depending on your input source (mine is for a video capture card).On the video capture device: ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -standard ntsc -i /dev/video0 Once you've gotten the appropriate version of ffmpeg/ffserver you can set them up for streaming, in my case this was done as follows. I did this on an Ubuntu server and desktop, and this guide showed me how - instructions for other OSes can be found here. Here's what I had to do:įirst, build ffmpeg from source to include the libvpx drivers (even if your using a version that has it, you need the newest ones (as of this month) to stream webm because they just did add the functionality to include global headers).

I set this up recently, but it's kind of a pain.
