[Live-devel] H.264 NAL confusion

[Ross Finlayson]

>1. I have my stream running, but I can't seem to get VLC to digest 
>it.  Should VLC be able to play it?

Yes, but this is not a VLC mailing list.


>2. Do I need to do anything with PPS and SPS information?

Yes.  You need to Base-64-encode each of these special NAL units, 
concatenate the resulting strings together with the comma (',') 
character, and pass the resulting string as the 
"sprop_parameter_sets_str" parameter to 
"H264VideoRTPSink::createNew()".

Yes.  (I wonder, what were you passing as the 
"sprop_parameter_sets_str" parameter before??  That parameter is 
there for a reason.
