streaming with ffserver

[Amar]

I tried streaming webm video file with ffserver
my config file is:.

Port 8090
BindAddress 0.0.0.0
MaxHTTPConnections 2000
MaxClients 1000
MaxBandwidth 10000
CustomLog -
NoDaemon
<Feed feed1.ffm>
File /tmp/feed1.ffm
FileMaxSize 5M
</Feed>
<Stream test.mpeg>
Feed feed1.ffm
Format mpeg
AudioBitRate 32
AudioChannels 2
AudioSampleRate 44100
#VideoCodec libvpx
VideoBitRate 366
VideoBufferSize 40
VideoFrameRate 24
VideoSize 320x240
VideoGopSize 12
</Stream>

I feed video as
ffmpeg -i cartoon.mpeg http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm

and played as
ffplay http://192.168.1.159:8090/test.mpeg



I got following error....

at ffserver
Codec for stream 0 does not use global headers but container format
requires global headers
Codec for stream 1 does not use global headers but container format
requires global headers
Extradata corrupt.
Error writing output header
