[Live-devel] Multiple Files sequentially streamed

[Ross Finlayson]

Jeff,

FYI, there is now a new version (2004.01.22) of the software that adds 
"preferredFrameSize" and "playTimePerFrame" as (optional) parameters to 
"ByteStreamMultiFileSource::createNew()".

FYI, I've also added a new member function
         Boolean haveStartedNewFile()
to "ByteStreamMultiFileSource()".  This tells a reader (in your case, the 
RTPSink) whether or not the most recently-delivered frame was the first 
from a newly-opened file.

To use this, I suggest that you write your own subclass of "SimpleRTPSink" 
that redefines "doSpecialFrameHandling()" (and nothing else).  Your 
redefined "doSpecialFrameHandling()" would
         1/ cast "fSource" to a "ByteStreamMultiFileSource*"
         2/ call "haveStartedNewFile()" on it
         3/ call "setMarkerBit()" if "haveStartedNewFile()" returned True.
         4/ call "MultiFramedRTPSink::doSpecialFrameHandling()" (to set the 
packet's timestamp properly).
