[Live-devel] Passing extra data to the streamer

I have subclassed MediaSource to allow me to stream MPEG 1 directly
from a hardware encoder, however I need to pass user configurable data
to this class (such as username, password, bitrate, encoding type
etc). This really needs to be passed to realplayer/quicktime from a
web page's URL .

For example rtsp://my_server:8554/video?bitrate=80000

I could modify the code as it currently is to allow URL parsing, but
Im hoping there exsits a mechanism to allow me to pass variable data
to the source

Thanks in advance

John
