[Live-devel] re-streaming rtsp

[Ross Finlayson]

> May be you can shed light on this. We receive RTSP streams from cameras ( e.g. rtsp://10.0.0.27:554/codec-h264/channel0.sdp) that we wish to re-stream over a http tunnel (and use a nonstandard http port e.g. 9100). Is this possible using Live555 Media Server. Tried using the proxy server but it doesn’t fit the bill.

Why not?  The "LIVE555 Proxy Server" is intended just for situations like this.

There's only one 'forum' for supporting the "LIVE555 Streaming Media" code - this mailing list.

No, we implement RTSP-over-HTTP tunneling both for RTSP clients and RTSP servers (including our RTSP proxy server).

The "LIVE555 Proxy Server" application (in the "proxyServer" directory) sets up a HTTP server (for optional RTSP-over-HTTP tunneling) by attempting to use three port numbers that are typically used for HTTP: 80, 8000, and 8080.  (Note the code in "live555ProxyServer.cpp".)  I suggest that you continue to use one of these three ports, if possible (because they are most likely to pass through firewalls).  However you could, of course, modify the code to use some other port (like 9100) instead.  (I note, however, that port 9100 has been registered - in the Unix /etc/services file - for use by what appears to be some HP printing service.)
