[Live-devel] multiple-file support for on-demand-RTSPStreamer

[Xiaoyuan Gu]

Dear Ross,

Thank you so much for your prompt reply.

Is it possible to have a single server instance running that is able to 
handle multiple clients that each requests for different clips (with 
different names)? If yes, where to modify?

Thanks!

Regards,
Xiaoyuan
