title: Streaming Rtsp stream to website using FFmpeg and FFserver.
body: <p>I am working on a website for a client and one of the requirement is to embed the video from HikVision DVR DS7116. I have the RTSP url for the DVR. I want help with FFmpeg and FFserver. I already have written my ffserver config file. </p>
  
  <pre><code>/etc/ffserver.config
  
  Port 9500
  # bind to all IPs aliased or not
  BindAddress 0.0.0.0
  # max number of simultaneous clients
  MaxClients 1000
  # max bandwidth per-client (kb/s)
  MaxBandwidth 10000
  # Suppress that if you want to launch ffserver as a daemon.
  NoDaemon
  
  &lt;Feed feed1.ffm&gt;
  File /tmp/feed1.ffm
  FileMaxSize 5M
  &lt;/Feed&gt;
  
  &lt;Stream test.swf&gt;
  Feed feed1.ffm
  Format swf
  VideoCodec flv
  VideoFrameRate 15

  <p>I can see that with some errors, the stream starts.
  When i put the output url in my html code, there is no stream. I also tried playing the network stream in VLC and did not get anything. Can anyone please help me with that? Any leads are also appreciated. Thank you.</p>
  
  <p>My HTML Code is:</p>
