if you're using apt-get version of ffmpeg, that's the problem.

Did you ask on the mailing lists - they are normally pretty active with knowledgeable (if rather stereo-typically arrogant Linux) types?

Hmmm maybe your mother has just covered it with her dressing gown.

Thanks, I'll let her know.

ffserver seems to be running no probs

Code:

avserver Status Available Streams Path Served Conns bytes Format Bit rate kbits/s Video kbits/s Codec Audio kbits/s Codec Feed webcam.asf 0 296 asf_stream 200 200 msmpeg4 0 webcam.ffm webcam.mjpeg 2 214 mpjpeg 200 200 mjpeg 0 webcam.ffm stat.html 15 25143 - - - - Feed webcam.ffm Stream type kbits/s codec Parameters 0 video 200 msmpeg4 320x240, q=1-10, fps=2 1 video 200 mjpeg 320x240, q=2-31, fps=2

I'm starting the feed with;
ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 http://localhost:8090/webcam.ffm

Any ideas?
