Hi Ross, Thanx for the kind response. However, I tested the same code with a TS file and by setting the flag to true, I could play the same file to all the clients; in a way that all clients play the same stream from the same file as in a live camera stream. And this is why I enabled the flag for the H264 input.
Are there any leads as to how I can debug this issue out? Inputs are valuably welcome! Thanx! Sundar On Fri, Jun 19, 2009 at 9:03 PM, Ross Finlayson <finlay...@live555.com>wrote: > 2.
