[Live-devel] Open RTSP and video file splitting...

[Ross Finlayson]

>But often the program exits in "Segmentation Fault", and I don't know why...

The reason is that you are closing (and deleting) your 'data sink' 
object - "qtOut" - but you are still 'playing' that object.  I.e., 
the code thinks that it should still be receiving incoming network 
data into the original "qtOut" object.

The right way to fix this - with minimal disruption to the existing 
code - is not to make any changes to the network reading/recording 
mechanism, but instead to use a different 'data sink' class - one 
that knows how to periodically close/reopen its output file, but 
without having to delete/recreate the 'data sink' object itself.

So, I suggest that you subclass the "QuickTimeFileSink" class to do this.

Unfortunately, to do this, you're going to have to make some 
modifications to "liveMedia/include/QuickTimeFileSink.hh" - to change 
some fields and member functions from "private:" to "protected:" - so 
you can subclass "QuickTimeFileSink".  (In particular, you will 
definitely need to change the constructor and destructor, and 
"completeOutputFile()" and "fOutFid" to "protected:")  Once you've 
done this, please let us know which fields/functions you needed to 
make "protected:", and I'll change the next released version of the 
code to make at least those fields/functions "protected:".  That way, 
you won't need to keep changing the released code each time.
