[Live-devel] Streaming on the Device . . .

[flavio.oliveira at indt.org.br]

Hi,

The POSIX select() function is not implemented in STDLIB because the Symbian software platform does not in general support asynchronous "ready to read" or "ready to write" notification. Therefore, I got a Symbian version of the select() function, I don't have problems here.

I have problem with socket non-blocking, i get to compile the source above, but the link fails!
I am trying a solution, I don't know what's the problem, because Symbian has fcntl function.
But when I tried to compile I got the message: unresolved external symbol fcntl

    int curFlags = fcntl(newSocket, F_GETFL, 0);
    if (fcntl(newSocket, F_SETFL, curFlags|O_NONBLOCK) < 0) {
      socketErr(env, "failed to make non-blocking: ");
      _close(newSocket);
      return -1;
    }

Flavio

I don't know much about Symbian, but it should be fairly easy to port this 
code to any environment that has a reasonably standard C++/C compiler and 
supports (i) standard Berkeley-style sockets, (ii) "select()" (or something 
similar), and (iii) "gettimeofday()" (or something similar).

No, for your "Device B" you could just use the LIVE.COM code, perhaps using 
the "testOnDemandRTSPServer" test program as a starting point.
