[Live-devel] RTSP plugin

[Arthur Chiu]

Hi,

I am having some trouble understanding how to make use of the live libraries
to create a RTSP plugin for a player.
I had looked at the sample test programs that comes with live and also
looked at the demux_rtp.cpp that comes with Mplayer as recommended on the
website. However, I still have a question:

1) After I created the session and send the PLAY command through
playMediaSession from the RTSPClient object, does the server start streaming
the media content? Which port does it strema to?
2) I see that the testMP3reciever program listens to the mp3 frames sent to
a port, then output it to the file sink (which is stdout). If I want to play
these mp3 frames using another player, do I need to edit the player so that
it reads from stdin? I am trying to add a plugin to madplay so that it can
listen from UDP and play the mp3s.
3) From the player (madplay), how would i know that the mp3 frames have
started to be streamed and I can start reading them from stdin? How will I
know that it stopped?

Thanks a lot for all help or hints.

Cheers,

Arthur
