Hi Ralf, Ross,
Thanks for the link to the RCF6501 that bring a solution to know the timestamp
of the first RTP packet.
I follow times to times the ONVIF specification
http://www.onvif.org/specs/stream/ONVIF-Streaming-Spec-v210.pdf that also
propose to insert a NTP timestamp (and other things to allow streaming
backward) in the RTP header extension but using a different profile.
In previous mail Ross told me that supporting RTP header extension in live555
is not in the roadmap.
I will continue to try to find a way.
Thanks,
Michel.

Objet : Re: [Live-devel] Synchronize the "RTCP" time using RTSP Range ?
Michel, I think the probability of loosing the first SR is very minor, SR
packets are relatively small in comparison to the video packets and are less
likely to get dropped by routers. Or do you have any indication otherwise?
Ross's fix should do the trick.
However if you want to decrease that probability further RFC6051(
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6051 ) might be of use.
I'm not sure if it applies here, but from what I recall it's basically an
extension header for RTP that includes an NTP timestamp allowing one to do as
the name says: rapid synchronisation. You could add this extension header to
the first e.g. 5 RTP packets *if* you notice a problem with the first SR being
lost. To be sure read the draft to make sure it applies to this use case.

@Ross I would say this is a standard-conformant way? Standard conformant RTP
applications *should* ignore the header in any case if the don't understand it,
so it shouldn't break other clients...
@Michel If you do write the extension header and rapid sync code, you could
consider contributing it back to the live555 codebase.
Regards,
Ralf
