I have ffserver that multicast some stream to other devices and ffmpeg that send some input video to ffserver using following command:
ffmpeg -re -y -i ~/videofile.mp4 http://192.168.2.38:8090/f.ffm
Is it possible to loop video playback, I mean that after videofile.mp4 ends, ffmpeg or ffserver restarts playback from the beggining of the file?

Old question but useful. I answer on video.stackexchange: https://video.stackexchange.com/a/16933/12104
In short, you can loop input with filters, that can be combined to the next command:
ffmpeg -re -f lavfi -i "movie=filename=~/videofile.mp4:loop=0, setpts=N/(FRAME_RATE*TB)" http://192.168.2.38:8090/f.ffm
In this case there is not disconnects to the publish server (ffserver in your case).

I couldn't find a key for ffmpeg to loop playback, but it can be easily done using shell script:
#!/bin/sh
while [ 1 ] ; do
ffmpeg -re -y -i /path_to_videofile http://url:8090/f.ffm
done
