If I take our transport stream and convert it to raw H264 using FFmpeg with

and then ask testOnDemandRTSPServer to play it by asking for 
rtsp://192.168.1.13/h264ESVideoTest

it plays fine.

However, if I change the ffmpeg command to pipe out the raw 264 data, and then 
the RTSP server to accept stdin as the file for h264ESVideoTest I get a single 
frame displayed and nothing more. Is there any reason for this?
Well, I’m sure there’s a reason for it; I just don’t know what that reason is 
:-)

I assume that you’ve already successfully tested:
        your-modified-testOnDemandRTSPServer < test.264

Thanks - I asked for that.  Yes, I have successfully tested that.  It plays 
fine.  One thing that puzzled me though, is that if I ask for the stream again 
it can start again at the beginning?
I guess my understanding of pipes is poor, because I'd have thought that if 
it's taken the file in, it can't read it a second time.
I'll try and record the stream with openRTSP in both instances and see what the 
difference is.
