You have misunderstood the purpose of the 
"testMPEG2TransportStreamTrickPlay" application.  This application is 
*not* needed to implement server 'trick play' operations for 
Transport Streams.  Instead, it is merely a demonstration application 
that *simulates* the effect of trick play, by generating a new 
Transport Stream (from the original transport stream) that can be 
played directly by a media player.

To support 'trick play' for your file "avatar.ts", you need *only* 
generate the index file "avatar.tsx" - by running:
	MPEG2TransportStreamIndexer avatar.ts
Then make sure that both "avatar.ts" and "avatar.tsx" are present in 
the same directory as the "live555MediaServer" application.

Once again, see

>1. Is it possible the trickplay on VLC with liveMediaserver ?

Yes, using VLC's 'fast forward' (i.e. ">>") GUI button.
