No, I won't be doing this, because RTSP-initiated streaming via raw-UDP is *not* a standard, and I do not want to encourage its use. Our server supports it only because one non-standard, but popular client (the Amino set-top box) uses it (but cannot handle standard RTP-over-UDP streaming). Please DO NOT deploy any RTSP client products that request streaming via raw-UDP. As I noted above, this is NOT a standard. (The Amino set-top boxes work by misusing the RTSP protocol in ways which were not intended, and which have not been well-documented.) Raw-UDP streaming can work only for data types (such as MPEG Transport) that contain their own, embedded timestamps, and prevent the use of standard RTCP-based techniques for measuring QOS, requesting retransmission (for reliability) etc., etc. I would like to see it die eventually. -- 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
