First, you should make sure that if the same data is stored in a regular file - rather than on a FIFO - then you can stream it OK. This will help ensure that you don't have problems with bad timestamps in your data.
Second, when you read from a FIFO, you must make sure that reads from the FIFO are *asynchronous* - i.e., non-blocking, and handled within the event loop. If the read end of your FIFO - as seen from your server - is a normal open file, then this should happen automatically, *unless* you are running Windows. (Windows is brain-damaged, and doesn't always treat open files as being select()able sockets, so reads on open files in Windows are synchronous by default.) Apart from this, because you're working with your own custom code, there's not a whole lot more I can suggest. -- Ross Finlayson Live Networks, Inc. http://www.live555.com/ _______________________________________________ live-devel mailing list live-devel@lists.live555.com http://lists.live555.com/mailman/listinfo/live-devel
