[Live-devel] Http Live Streaming

[Jeff Shanab]

I am trying to stream to mac, iphone and ipad using http streaming from my application that uses the live555 libs.

Data is flowing but I do not get video. When I extract out one of the segment files it will play in VLC. On further investigation, I see that the ts file when run in quicktime(apple's toolkit for video) it does not even see there is h264 content. The same h264 stream restreamed by some off the shelf software into HTTP live streaming is fine.

I found a tool to analyze the headers in the transport stream and was wondering if someone can look at the two sets of analysis and tell me what I am forgetting.

Working:
Adaptation fields

   discontinuity_indicator: False
   random_access_indicator: False

   OPCR_flag: False
   splicing_point_flag: False
   transport_private_data_flag: False
   adaptation_field_extension_flag: False
   PCR: 269280000
