I am streaming a file from hard disk to rtmp server. What i need is to stream a file from the client PC. i.e., I am hosting ffmpeg on the server and my web application streams the file from the client PC to the rtmp server. Is it possible? I don't want to upload the file to my server.

possible duplicate of another question
or look at avconv/ffmpeg
avconv documentation --> rtmp section
-re is realtime
-i is input file
-f is input file type
last parameter is the rtmp destination
For example, to stream a file in real-time to an RTMP server using avconv:
avconv -re -i myfile -f flv rtmp://myserver/live/mystream
To play the same stream using avplay:
avplay "rtmp://myserver/live/mystream live=1"
ffmpeg website
supposedly, ffmpeg is being replaced by avconv but it still seems to be an active project

Libav is a fork of FFmpeg that had their own so-called "
ffmpeg". Then they eventually replaced it withavconv. The deprecated message provided by Libav (and the additional message from the Ubuntu maintainer) were worded poorly and confusing to users.ffmpegfrom FFmpeg is actively developed. – llogan – 2014-09-21T05:39:31.793
