[Live-devel] AAC packaging for "mpeg4-generic" stream?

[Dave Beal]

Thank you for the prompt reply, Ross.  So I take it from your response
that the Live555 library is agnostic about how the AAC is packaged.

Your message didn't make it clear whether or not your server is 
implemented using our libraries, but if it's not, then we can't 
really help you here, because the VLC media player is not our 
software.  (VLC does use our libraries for the RTSP/RTP protocol, but 
not for decoding at all.)

Instead, you should begin by using our "openRTSP" client (see 
<http://www.live555.com/openRTSP/>) to make sure that it receives 
your stream OK (and writes a non-empty file for the incoming audio 
stream).

I also suggest that you take a look at how our RTSP server 
implementation (e.g, our "testOnDemandRTSPServer" demo application) 
streams from an ADTS-format aac file.  (For an example ADTS-format 
AAC file, you can use the file "test.aac" from 
<http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/public/aac/>.)
