[Live-devel] Streaming from subdirectories not working with embedded RTSP player

[Jos Huybrighs]

Ross,
Thanks for the prompt feedback.I tried now with 0.72 but the problem still occurs. Wit the embedded RTSP player of the setop box (player software coming from Broadcom I think) I still get a "404 Stream Not Foud" response on the SETUP request.
Here is the RTSP dump (exported from wireshark):

As you can see, the RTSP client is not passing 'track1' in the SETUP url.
Any thoughts on this?

I read in the history notes that starting from v.0-71 streaming from a subdirectory (like in: rtsp://<host>/MyVideos/MyStreams/a-video.ts) now works.I can confirm that it indeed works with the VLC player, but unfortunately not with the RTSP player I am working with on an embedded device (a browser-based setop box).
You should consider using our own RTSP client implementation; several people/organizations have already used it for embedded devices.
In any case, there is now a new version (0.72) of the "LIVE555 Media Server" (that uses a new version 2011.10.09 of the "LIVE555 Streaming Media" source code) that better supports subdirectories in "rtsp://" URLs.  If you use this new version, you may find that streaming from subdirectories works for you now.
But if this still doesn't work, then please post (to this mailing list) an example of the RTSP protocol exchange that fails for you, and I'll take a look at it.  (Alternative, you could just use our RTSP client implementation, because it is known to work OK :-)
