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