[Live-devel] Patch : Scheduling a task to occur after a delay expressed in seconds and microseconds

[Glen Gray]

Hey David,

I'd to fix a similar problem with the Kasenna=>SDP generation in 
RTSPClient. The issue here is that microseconds is an signed int, which 
is limited to positive value of 2147483648. I supplied a patch to change 
it to an unsigned 64bit int (though we'd to juggle type naming to get 
VC++ to compile). I'd say all that's needed is that same thing here.

This was not enough for me so I added the possibility to schedule an event by specifying delay in seconds and microseconds. Now the new maximum time in the future for an event is around 24855 days. I would be pleased if you could consider this for future releases of the library. I attached my patch to this email.
