[Live-devel] RTSP Seek problems

[Ross Finlayson]

Philippe,

To follow up on my previous response, I'd like to get clarification on one 
point:

Will it help you at all if you (by "you", I mean the developer of the VLC 
"livedotcom.cpp" code, that interfaces between the LIVE.COM library and the 
rest of VLC) can know, exactly, where the discontinuity occurs?  In 
particular, will it help you at all if you can know, for sure, that all 
incoming RTP frames that arrive after you've done the seek will contain 
data that was sent after the server handled the seek operation?

If this is something that is going to be helpful to you, then I can 
probably modify the LIVE.COM library to make this happen.

However, one thing that I *can't* do is indicate the discontinuity in the 
presentation time stamp that's passed to the 'afterGettingFunc' (for VLC, 
this is "StreamRead()").  The reason for this is that this presentation 
time is a *continuous* sequence of time that represents the time at which 
incoming data should be *rendered* by the client.  It does not indicate any 
discintinuities in the original source data.

So, now that I've made that clear, can you explain, again, whether it will 
help you if you can know, exactly, where the discontinuity occurs?
