[Live-devel] Easiest way to implement custom RTSP messages?

RTSP is not the protocol to use for this (because there's nothing defined in the RTSP protocol standard for doing this, an any 'custom' RTSP command that you'd implement would be incompatible with all of the other clients and servers out there).

What you want, instead, is a regular web page that provides a list of "rtsp://" URLs - e.g, in an XML document.

For this, you'd use HTTP - i.e., using a regular web server - not RTSP.
