[Live-devel] [PATCH] Allow streaming from subdirectories

[Ross Finlayson]

Thanks for the note.  However, could you say some more about what 
specific problem you're trying to solve here?  Is your intention to 
allow the "LIVE555 Media Server" (for example) to have its files in 
subdirectories (below the directory in which the media server 
resides), and have the (subdirectory) path in the "rtsp://" URL - e.g.
	rtsp://server.example.com:8554/dir1/dir2/foo.ts
???

If so, then what name do you give to the corresponding 
"ServerMediaSession" object in the server?  "dir1/dir2/foo.ts"?  Or 
"foo.ts"?   Note that the former approach is the only one that would 
work (otherwise, for example, you wouldn't be able to have two 
separate files named "foo.ts", in separate subdirectories).

The reason I bring all this up is that this request - to allow 
intermediate "/" characters in "rtsp://" URLs - is one that comes up 
often, but the issue is not quite a simple as it first appears.
