title: CANNOT get FFserver stream going
body: <p>I want to preface this question with the fact that I am very very new to ffmpeg and even newer to ffserver.</p>
  
  <p>I cannot, for the life of me, get this thing going.
  I get: </p>
  
  <p><code>"Too large number of skipped frames 882933314374 &gt; 60000"</code></p>
  
  <p>Also, ffplay gives me <code>first frame is no keyframe</code></p>
  
  <p>Here is my ffserver.conf file</p>
  
  <pre><code>HTTPPort 8090
  HTTPBindAddress 0.0.0.0
  MaxHTTPConnections 1000
  MaxClients 10
  MaxBandwidth 2000000
  NoDefaults

  <p>And here is my ffmpeg command</p>
  
  <pre><code>ffmpeg -i smaller.avi http://localhost:8090/test.ffm
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've been fighting with this thing all day, googling like a madman the entire time. What am I doing wrong? Any help will be welcomed enthusiastically.</p>
