ffmpeg stream

Description of Patch

Having a low upstreambandwidth i needed a solution to stream in also other video formats (mpeg4, h264, flv, ...).

Insted of "vlc http://server:1234"; (mjpeg) i can do now also "mplayer http://server:1234/mpeg4";

For a different streaming rate you can add parameters to the url(vbr overrides bps)

vlc http://server:1234/mpeg4?bps=500000 or vlc http://server:1234/mpeg4?vbr=10

To see the stream on my TV (VDR with iptv plugin) i need mpegts: http://server:1234/mpegts?fps=25&bps=2000000

fps is only a fake in the stream header - needed for VDR

Installation of Patch

Download the patch file and copy it to the motion source directory and issue the command

gunzip -cd motion_stream_ffmpeg3.diff.gz | patch -p1

Then re-build Motion and test the patch.
