hi,

very practical, simply, how can I share and
stream my webcam + audio as a MMS stream
with a login and password

without installing APACHE (no x11 either). Just ffmpeg ?

Would it be possible?

thank you

It is possible.
Some ideas on how;
Build your own streaming channel.
try an Internet search for; headless linux mms live+streaming

Are you talking about a connection within your own LAN---or from outside?

For outside access, note that most IPs do not allow you to use the connection to host a server---further, the connection doe not normally have a fixed IP address.

Most IP's block port 80, however if you use a different port it will work. You could get a dynamic ip address (from a site such as www.dyndns.org) to get around the non-fixed ip address problem.

Why not purchase a stand alone webcam to do the same thing?

thank you !

I have finally managed using ffserver.conf and ffmpeg. it works.

Well, rather slow. A free opensource like skype would have been ideal for me
