Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply. I'm basically trying to do a file to live implementation that streams the video file continuously to RTP and once the EOF is reached it should continue streaming from the beginning of the video. It should be a continuous stream without any breaks/gaps while looping. I'm okay with using any suitable Video File Format. Perhaps you could suggest the right format and encoding (H264 etc.) that would be ideal for this case. So once I receive the file I will just convert it first to this ideal format and then use it in the implementation. Also, do you know about any sample code available that implements this?

Thanks and Regards,
Sajo

We don't have anything to do with RTMP (that's a proprietary protocol). Perhaps you meant RTP

But anyway, 'loop streaming' a file is not something that we support directly. You would need to write your own data source class (a subclass of "FramedSource") that did this. Note, however, that you didn't say what kind of file you want to stream. You couldn't do this for a Transport Stream file, for example, because it contains its own timestamp (PCR) information, which would be incorrect when you read the file a second (etc.) time - unless you explicitly changed the PCR timestamps each time.
