I am trying to stream a rtsp stream to a webpage.
I have started the ffserver as follows:
ffserver -d -f /etc/ffserver.conf
Here is the command I have spliced together:
ffmpeg -rtsp_transport tcp -an -i rtsp://admin:password@my_rstp_url:port/ch01/0 -f mpegts http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm
This starts up, then fails with this error:
Too many packets buffered for output stream 0:0.
Here is the full output:

What should I do?
Anyone who finds this thread in the future, I have found an easier solution using Shinobi which does the hard work for me. I can then restream the rtsp stream to mjpeg, mp4 etc.
