How to stream a local video file over Internet using avconv/avserver?
3
As FFmpeg is going to be dropped from Ubuntu, it will be important to know how to broadcast videos over Intrnet using avconv. An official guide is available, but it doesn't give much information how to work it out, step by step...
I have tried several times, but no luck.
Your simple & complete instructions are highly appreciated....!
Thanks!

Using a line like this will get you moving:
avconv -f video4linux2 -s 640×360 -r 30 -b 350k -i /dev/video0 -f flv rtmp://live.twitch.tv/app/live
Where
- -s is your resolution (640×360)
- -r is your frame-rate
- -b is your max bitrate (k= Kbps)
- -i is your webcam or input video stream (your webcam will usually be something like /dev/video0)
- -f flv is the output codec (in this case, we'll use Flash video)
Just replace the "rtmp://live.twitch.tv/app/live" without your output URL, and dont forget to add your stream key to the end :)

True, but was unanswered. Thought I'd just pick up an old question and provide an answer. Interestingly,avconvis still in Ubuntu as of 16.04 LTS. It's just not the tool of choice anymore. When you installlibav-tools, it's there. Right along sideffmpeg
