[Live-devel] Stupid port question (on demand server)

[Neil Alexander]

Hello,

I thought I had this figured out, but now I'm confused again.  
(Happens when you have to put something down and come back 4 months  
later).

Anyway, using the ondemandrtspserver stuff, I want to ensure that it  
will do what I want it to do.

I need to be able to stream > 1 session simultaneously.

When running the sample, I see:

"mpeg1or2ESVideoTest" stream, from the file "testv.mpg"
Play this stream using the URL "rtsp://10.0.2.6:8554/ 
mpeg1or2ESVideoTest"


"mp3AudioTest" stream, from the file "test.mp3"
Play this stream using the URL "rtsp://10.0.2.6:8554/mp3AudioTest"


Which appears to be using the same port. Can two different users use  
the same port for two different streams simultaneously? I thought I  
had to allocate a separate port for each stream, is this not accurate?

On the receive side, if I have two separate computers, (on same LAN  
or not), do I need each computer to have a separate port #? Can the  
"viewer" computer who wants to see two streams type in something like:

rtsp://192.168.1.109:8554/streamName
rtsp://192.168.1.110:8554/streamName

or:

rtsp://192.168.1.109:8554/streamName
rtsp://192.168.1.109:8554/streamName2

Or is it required to:

rtsp://192.168.1.109:8554/streamName
rtsp://192.168.1.110:8555/streamName


Also, outside the LAN, are there any issues I need to know about?  
(other than firewall, of course)

Some light reading on this kind of stuff is obviously needed by me.  
Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Neil Alexander
