the live555 library is used by VLC. VLC can decode SAP announcements to make it easy for end users to access playlists via SAP announce and it appears that the live555 library is used to decode the SAP announcements.
Yes, but not exclusively (I think). I.e., I think that sometimes VLC uses a separate mechanism - not using our libraries - to parse/decode SAP announcements. I'm not sure about this, though, because VLC is not our software, and I'm not sure how it works internally.
But VLC will not decode properly formed SAP announcements where there is more than one media line. It appears that this is a function of the live555 library
Now I assume the live555 library was written with the assumption that the main media being used was multiplexed MPEG-TS with one port set only, and so one connection entry; one media file is all that it
Incorrect. Our library has *always* been able to parse/handle SDP announcements that have multiple "m=" lines (e.g., one "m=" for audio; one "m=" for video).
If your stream is accessible via a "rtsp://" URL, then you can verify this using our "openRTSP" RTSP client application. (Unlike VLC, openRTSP *is* our software.)
So, please try opening our stream using "openRTSP", and let us know if you have any problems with this.
