Error when playing stream test.asf from standard ffserver.conf "Invalid data found when processing input"

[tps]

Hi All,

I use ffplay to play the stream test.asf using ffserver and the standard ffserver.conf file.

ffplay exits with "​http://localhost:8090/test.asf: Invalid data found when processing input"

Below I show output of three terminal windows.

The first terminal runs ffserver.

The second terminal window sends data to ffserver from a dv camera using dvgrab and ffmpeg.

The third terminal window calls ffplay to play the stream test.asf

1. ffserver:
