[Live-devel] Streaming from a live camera

[Ross Finlayson]

>Unfortunetely this does not work. Do you see anything wrong?

No, but you haven't said anything about what you're doing with the data 
from your "MpegSource" class.  I.e., what filter and sink classes are you 
feeding it into?

You should be feeding this data into a "MPEG4VideoStreamDiscreteFramer", 
and from that to a "MPEG4ESVideoRTPSink".

Yes, using "RTSPServer::addServerMediaSession()".  (To remove a stream, 
call "RTSPServer::removeServerMediaSession()".)

If by "request a stream", you mean using RTSP (i.e., using a "rtsp://" 
URL), then no, because all RTSP server processing must be done by the RTSP 
server.  Also, there's currently no mechanism in the code that allows a 
RTSP server - in response to a new RTSP "DESCRIBE" command - to add a new 
"ServerMediaSession" to the server.

If, however, by "request a stream", you mean using some other protocol 
(i.e., not RTSP), then yes, you can do this.
