# Redirect index.html to the appropriate site

#this permit to obtain 2 streams, one for flv streaming (h264+mp3) and the other for swf streaming (flv+mp3)

5) Run ./ffserver -f doc/ffserver.conf

6) Now the source
Axis camera 232D+: use './ffmpeg -i rtsp://192.168.0.35/mpeg4/media.amp -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:0,0 http://127.0.0.1:9090/feed1.ffm' command line for connect ffserver with axis camera video using pc sound card as sound input
Axis camera M-1031W: use './ffmpeg -i rtsp://192.168.0.95/axis-media/media.amp http://127.0.0.1:9090/feed1.ffm' command line for connect ffserver with axis camera video/sound

File: use this command line for streaming a file live './ffmpeg -i /home/dexmac/record.avi http://127.0.0.1:9090/feed1.ffm'
7) For live view use videolan (install it from ubuntu repository) with address http://127.0.0.1:9090/test1.flv or test1.swf, if you well done, you may see your stream

8) If you want to put this on line use flowplayer and follow my "streaming with flowplayer and ffserver" how-t
