stream with ffserver without encode-decode

Question

I have static file on my disk I want to stream it with ffserver .

The problem is that ffserver is decode and encode my file.

I know how to pass decode and encode when I save stream to file ffmpeg-i http://.... -c:v copy test.avi.

How can I do that when I stream with ffserver with command ffmpeg -i test.avi http://<ffserverUrl>

ffmpeg -i test.264 -c:v copy http://<ffserverUrl> still re-encode the video

I know that ffserver is not recommended but I need this option please

What have you tried so far? Have you tried doing a stream copy? Are you getting an error? — Michael Liebman, Jan 29, 2018 at 3:34

FFmpeg, by default, uses ffserver's conf file to set encoding parameters. Add -override_ffserver to the ffmpeg command to prevent that.
