[Live-devel] how to identify about frame type(I, P, B)?

Hammad,

Note that there's already a mechanism by which you can stream only I-frames 
(when streaming MPEG-1 or 2 video).  Note the "iFramesOnly" variable in 
"testOnDemandRTSPServer.cpp".

The actual information about the type of each frame is obtained by the 
appropriate 'framer' class, when it parses MPEG-1, 2 or 4 video data).  To 
see this, run
         grep coding_type liveMedia/*Framer.cpp
