To create a continuous pipe to stream a real-time video

At the server:


> mkfifo fifo.flv
> APPTOMAKEFLVFILE fifo.flv &
> netcat -l -p 1234 < fifo.flv

At the client

> netcat SERVERADDRESS 1234 | ffplay pipe:


In this case, the APPTOMAKEFLVFILE is compiled from the output_example.c file that comes with the ffmpeg download from http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/
