In order to support mutlicast, 'testMPEG1or2VideoStreamer' would have to be integrated/started to allow the running RTSP Server to perform mutlicast playback. Is this correct or has multicast support been incorporated into an RTSP Server?
As you will see in the mailing list, I already tried add multicast to the On-Demand servers. I would really recommend that you switch to using unicast if you want to have On-Demand sessions. The LIVE555 can use unicast to "fake" On-Demand multicast sessions (send the same data to all clients via unicast), so your users should not be able to tell the difference. I tried to dig through the code and see if I could implement On-Demand multicast, but it would be a real pain to do without changing/adding a lot of source because PassiveServerMediaSubsession requires the Groupsocks setup before construction, among other things. Also, it really does not make that much sense to implement. Is there a client already available that supports having the client setup the multicast destination & port If you want to use the streamer applications, you will have to implement this yourself in the RTSPClient class and also make a small change to PassiveServerMediaSubsession, but it is not so bad to do. xo
