[Live-devel] testRTSPClient / H.264 Network Camera Stream

[tboonefisher at clear.net]

    Thanks Colin. The fact that I do get some very jerky but clear video rendered, does make me suspicious that I’m not
implementing my DS source filter correctly. In particular I’m looking closely at GetMediaType(..), etc method(s). As I said, 
my skills are weak/intermediate in this stuff, so any tips from the “Pros” are greatly appreciated. 

    Question...is it OK for me to post some of my DirectShow code here so that you might be able so see if/where I’m
going wrong ???

I’ve also worked with cameras that don’t send sprop-parameter-sets in the SDP file (but not using the Live555 client); this shouldn’t be a problem as long as the camera does send SPS and PPS in band. The fact that you are able to decode and display the raw NALUs using DirectShow would indicate that it is (decoding would fail otherwise), so perhaps your problem is elsewhere?

    It must also be VERY frustrating to see these companies making $$$$$$$
  from your very nice work !!!

 

On the contrary - I am *happy* to see many companies making successful use of this software.  That's why I made it available.

 

 

    This is BAD news as the camera is:

What does frustrate me, however, is that so many of the companies that have successfully used this software in their products have avoided making use of the support offered by this mailing list.  In particular, nobody from "Foscam" appears to be on this mailing list.

 





  I am just an end-user and thus probably have little influence on them. I
will send them
the info that you suggest but I will be very surprised IF they respond.

 

Please also check whether you have the latest firmware for your camera.  Firmware upgrades for Foscam camera can apparently be downloaded from: http://foscam.us/firmware

 

 

    Are there any other possible work-arounds?

 

No.  The problem is with the camera.
