无法获取FFserver流

Question

I want to preface this question with the fact that I am very very new to ffmpeg and even newer to ffserver.

I cannot, for the life of me, get this thing going. I get:

"Too large number of skipped frames 882933314374 > 60000"

Also, ffplay gives me first frame is no keyframe

Here is my ffserver.conf file

HTTPPort 8090
HTTPBindAddress 0.0.0.0
MaxHTTPConnections 1000
MaxClients 10
MaxBandwidth 2000000
NoDefaults

###############################################################################################

<Feed test.ffm>
    File /tmp/test.ffm
    FileMaxSize 10000M
    ACL ALLOW localhost
</Feed>

<Stream status.html>
Format status

# Only allow local people to get the status
    ACL allow localhost
</Stream>

<Stream test.avi>
    Feed test.ffm
    Format avi
    ACL ALLOW localhost
    ACL ALLOW 192.168.1.0
    NoAudio
    VideoSize 3840x2160
    VideoFrameRate 30
    Preroll 10
</Stream>

###############################################################################################

And here is my ffmpeg command

ffmpeg -i smaller.avi http://localhost:8090/test.ffm

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.

These are my notes as I'm currently working through a similar process:

Video Streaming from ffserver for Raspberry PI - Unoptimized

Follow this tutorial: (I know people don't like links but this tut worked) https://oscarliang.com/webcam-streaming-video-raspberry-pi-via-browser/

Download ffmpeg for windows (or linux)

git clone https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg

// Keep your ffserver.conf simple at first

 HTTPPort 8090 HTTPBindAddress 0.0.0.0 MaxHTTPConnections 1000 MaxClients 10 MaxBandwidth 2000000 NoDefaults ############################################################################################### <Feed test.ffm> File /tmp/test.ffm FileMaxSize 10M </Feed> <Stream test.avi> Feed test.avi Format mjpeg VideoSize 640x480 VideoFrameRate 20 VideoBitRate 2000 VideoQMin 2 VideoQMax 10 </Stream> 

Put endpoint at http://<localhost>/webcam.mjpeg

Makesure webcam.sh contains:

ffserver -f /etc/ffserver.conf \\ & ffmpeg -v verbose \\ -r 30 \\ -s 640x480 \\ -f video4linux2 \\ -i /dev/video0 http://localhost/webcam.ffm

Run the following:

// Use the following instead of vlc as this has faster streaming

Win: ffplay.exe http://localhost/webcam.mjpeg

Linux: ffplay http://localhost/webcam.mjpeg
