Bug#906933: /usr/bin/ffserver: ffserver: should not only serve Window$ clients

[Axel <axst@users.sourceforge.net>]

Package: ffmpeg
Version: 7:3.2.12-1~deb9u1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/ffserver

Dear Maintainer,

man ffserver

states:

   How do I make it work?

   As a simple test, just run the following two command lines where INPUTFILE is some file
   which you can decode with ffmpeg:

      ffserver -f doc/ffserver.conf &

      ffmpeg -i INPUTFILE http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm

   At this point you should be able to go to your Windows machine and fire up Windows
   Media Player (WMP). Go to Open URL and enter

      http://<linuxbox>:8090/test.asf

   You should (after a short delay) see video and hear audio.

Please support free software clients as well.
