[Live-devel] Passing H.264 RTP stream to hardware decoder

You probably need just a "H264VideoRTPSource".  (A "H264VideoStreamDiscreteFramer" is needed only when you are *transmitting* H.264 over RTP.)

You may also need to call "parseSPropParameterSets()" to generate SPS and PPS NAL units to feed to your decoder, in case these don't appear in-line in the stream (or even if they do, if they don't appear frequently).  See "liveMedia/include/H264VideoRTPSource.hh"
