[Live-devel] Creating a RTSP stream from DVB-T hardware card

[Ryan Walklin]

A quick hex-edit of the file confirms that the first and 189th byte  
are both 0x47. I've been over the encoder's frame generation, and each  
packet sent to the encoder via the pipe to the server code is prefaced  
by the sync byte.

Is there any debugging switches with the livemedia library I can  
enable to further explore this?

Regards,

Ryan
