[Live-devel] Server and Client on the same machine

[Mallikharjuna Reddy (NAVT)]

Hi Ross,

Further to the tests carried on Windows XP for running the server and client
on the same machine, I just want to share the following information.

We observed that when a MPEG II file is streamed from server to client, the
client could able to receive the data for first 5 to 6 times. After this,
the function networkReadHandler() in MultiFramedRTPSource.cpp is never
called. When we debug this in SingleStep() function in BasicTaskSchedule.cpp
file, the handler() functions in two while loops point to RTCP
incomingReportHandler() function. Because of this, networkReadHandler() is
not called. But after waiting for some time, and start streaming from server
to client, the client will receive the data.

Any clues on why this is happening.

Thanks and Regards
Y. Mallikharjuna Reddy

Hi Ross,

Thanks for the information.

We observed the same behavior in the new version of the code. We upgraded
"LIVE555 Streaming Media" to version 2006.09.18 and carried the tests on
Windows XP Version 5.1, Service Pack 2. On the client side, the function
networkReadHandler() in MultiFramedRTPSource.cpp is never called and because
of this, client could not able to receive the packets.

Any clues on this.

Thanks and Regards
Y. Mallikharjuna Reddy

This sounds like a problem with your OS.  If you're running Windows, 
I suggest that you upgrade to version 2006.09.18 or later of the 
"LIVE555 Streaming Media" code, and recompile.  If that still doesn't 
work, then - if you're running an old version of Windows - you may 
need to upgrade to Windows XP for this to work.

If you're not running Windows, then I don't know what might be wrong 
(although it's probably still an OS problem).
