[Live-devel] RTSP ANNOUNCE support?

[Ross Finlayson]

No, nor are there any plans to support it in the future.  Almost 
nobody implements the RTSP "ANNOUNCE" command (in either clients or 
servers), and in fact it is no longer mentioned in the updated "RTSP 
2.0" specification 
<http://www.rtsp.org/2004/drafts/draft06/draft-ietf-mmusic-rfc2326bis-06.txt> 
that is currently being standardized by the IETF.

Do you realize that:
1/ Our RTSP client support already implements RTP-over-TCP, including 
HTTP tunneling.
2/ Our RTSP server support already supports RTP-over-TCP (but not yet 
including HTTP tunneling, although support for this will be added 
shortly)
3/ VLC currently uses the "LIVE555 Streaming Media" libraries only to 
implement its RTSP *client* support, not to implement its RTSP 
*server* support.
