[Live-devel] How to specify Range in RTSPClient that are not using npt

[PROMONET Michel]

                Hi Ross,

Perhaps Don Quixote wrote RFC 2326 chapter 12.19...

More seriously we need to seek in absolute mode because we would like to query video according to the time we recorded it (and not a relative time relative to begin of RTSP session).

I try to find ways to reduce live555 patching (I would like to use live555 wihtou any patch).
But without entry point in RTSPClient, I guess we have no others way that patching it ?

Thanks & Regards,

                Michel.

We try to find a way to send a range in absolute, it seems that a way could be to specify in the RTSP PLAY command :

- Range: clock=19961108T142300Z-19961108T143520Z

Why?  Once again, I don't see the point.  With a "Range:" header like this (in fact, any "Range:" header other than "0-" or "now-"), you're telling the server that you want to seek.  But if the server's not going to be seeking within the stream, then there's no point in sending a header like this.  (And in fact, our server code doesn't even handle this kind of "Range:" header (and there are no plans to extend it to do so, because noone ever uses it.)

I don't understand why you keep "tilting at this windmill".



Is it possible to define this method in the RTSPClient class as virtual in order to extend it ?

I have no plans to do this.  Again, I just don't see the point...
