First of all, note that while a “OnDemandServerMediaSubsession” object refers
to a track of streamable media, a “RTPSink” object refers to a receiving client
(or possibly multiple clients if “reuseFirstSource” is True). So there’s (in
general) a one-to-many relationship between “OnDemandServerMediaSubsession” and
“RTPSink”. Thus, it doesn’t make sense to talk about *the* RTPSink object for
your “OnDemandServerMediaSubsession”.
However…
There are at least two possible ways to get access to the “RTPSink” objects:
1/ Note the pure virtual function “createNewRTPSink()” that you have
implemented in your “OnDemandServerMediaSubsession” subclass. You can use your
implementation of this function to get access to the “RTPTransmissionStatsDB”
for the new “RTPSink”, after you’ve created it.
The drawback of this approach, though, is that you don’t know when the
“RTPSink” object later gets deleted, so - if you’re not careful - you may end
up holding a reference or pointer to a “RTPTransmissionStatsDB” that has been
deleted.
2/ Define a subclass “myRTCPInstance” of the “RTCPInstance” class. Then, in
your "OnDemandServerMediaSubsession” subclass, reimplement the
"createRTCP()” virtual function to create a “myRTCPInstance” object,
rather than a “RTCPInstance” object. Note that “createRTCP()” contains a
“sink” parameter, pointing to a “RTPSink”, from which you can get the
“RTPTransmissionStatsDB”.
The advantage of this approach over approach 1/ is that - by defining a
subclass of “RTCPInstance”, you can learn when the “RTPInstance” object gets
deleted, and thus when the “RTPSink” object gets deleted. (The “RTCPInstance”
object always gets deleted immediately before the “RTPSink” object.) Thus, you
can use your “myRTCPInstance” destructor to figure out when the
“RTPTransmissionStatsDB” should no longer be used.
