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

[David BERTRAND]

Hello Glen,
Thanks for your feedback. I think indeed that using "u_int64_t" type for microseconds in existing scheduleDelayedTask() should work perfectly.
Ross, would you mind if I ask you to use this type instead ?

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.
