No, but it sounds like there’s something wrong in the way that you’re
“spawning the testOnDemandRTSPServer from within my main program and
connect pipes to it and then pushing the data into this pipe”.
You should make sure that you can walk, before you try running.
Ok, I have worked out what is going wrong, but I don't have a solution
to make it work every time. In summary:
I can use stdout to a file.
I can use stdin from a file.
I cannot pipe stdout to stdin.
It would transpire that the onDemandRTSP server doesn't open stdin or
pull data from it until it gets an RTSP request from the outside world.
But our encoder is pushing data out on stdout continuously. So I would
need some communication between the RTSP server for when a stream is
opened and my encoder to start pushing the data. If I control it
manually, and start the RTSP server, then start VLC pulling from the
RTSP source and then start the encoder outputting data it works. But
things will break as soon as I stop the VLC pull.
So what are the easiest places to put a communication that an RTSP
source has been requested and that an RTSP stream has been stopped?
Many thanks for your help so far.
