Am I accidentally H.264 encoding twice? I have a monstrosity combination of media foundation and live555. It manages to send IP video out, and VLC receives it. But the quality is bad.
I have code that was a 555 test program, that I modified to make my own sub thread. I have a MF_H264_DeviceSource class that I derived from DeviceSource per 555 FAQ advice. I have H264VideoDeviceStreamer class that I derived from testH264VideoStreamer main program. At the bottom of H264VideoDeviceStreamer (from testH264VideoStreamer), I changed a reference to ByteStreamFileSource to my MF_H264_DeviceSource. This then feeds H264VideoStreamFramer which goes into a play function. WHAT? Just a while ago I realized I'm passing H.264 encoded buffers to H264VideoStreamFramer, which is perhaps doubly encoding them to H.264 again. Am I accidentally H.264 encoding twice? Does the original ByteStreamFileSource fed to H264VideoStreamFramer feed raw buffers to H264VideoStreamFramer? If so, I need to feed raw buffers to H264VideoStreamFramer as well. And then, doe H264VideoStreamFramer do the H264 encoding for me? Well, I tried removing the potentially doubled H.264 encoding from my side, but then VLC seems to receive nothing. Do note that VLC seems very forgiving, so I was thinking the receiving but bad quality was because VLC was forgiving and adaptable enough that it managed to play my doubly-encoded H.264. ?? Any help is greatly appreciated.
