Since I've been using version 14.12 streaming no longer works in Firefox under Linux.

I have this in the traces file : 19:32:04 ERROR External input stream instance is null... stopping process

I see it is failing as 'libx264' is an unknown encoder.
The reason for this is the wrong version of FFmpeg was used in the Linux release for 14.12.0 where that option was not enabled when it was compiled.

This was reported here and fixed in 14.12.1
There is a test build still available there with the fixed version of FFmpeg

If you have a graphics card you could change to GPU encoding and that should work. Check the settings for FFmpeg transcoding
