Thread: ffmpeg server error with bind

hi,

i've installed ffmpeg using apt-get on 11.10 3.0.0-13-server laptop. server running bind9 caching dns lan, , privoxy. localhost set ignore privoxy, though, 's serving rest of lan.

i'm running following command first step in streaming webcam on lan:

code:

ffserver -f ~/ffserver.conf

it fails run however, following error message:

code:

bind(): address family not supported protocol

i've been boy , googled it, , shows in variety of situations on variety of platforms, none of threads i've looked @ offer fixes. i've confirmed in various places ffserver.conf file correctly formatted , contains valid options (in truth, varies very, little example conf file).

have clue error means , how might avoided?

i've appended ffserver.conf file completeness:

code:

port 8090   # bind ips aliased or not   bindaddress 0.0.0.0   # number of simultaneous http connections can handled. has  # defined *before* maxclients parameter, since defines  # maxclients maximum limit.  maxhttpconnections 2000  # max number of simultaneous clients   maxclients 4  # max bandwidth per-client (kb/s)   maxbandwidth 10000   # suppress if want launch ffserver daemon.   nodaemon     <feed webcam.ffm>   file /tmp/webcam.ffm   filemaxsize 5m  acl allow 127.0.0.1  </feed>    <stream webcam.mjpg>  feed webcam.ffm  format mpjpeg  videosize qvga  videoframerate 2  videointraonly  noaudio  strict -1  </stream>
