[Live-devel] Proxy Server REGISTER option

[Bob Bischan]

Many thanks for the on-going dialog!

My evaluation of the Proxy Server / Live Media is probably going to lead to
total dependence :-) openRTSP and the entire live555 library is very much
on our radar screen. I'm still becoming familiar with the various pieces
and parts. I did spend some time looking at openRTSP and the sample test
programs, however, I did not see a way to send a REGISTER command to the
Proxy Server. I'm not a c++ programmer, so most the of code itself is
beyond my reach. At this point i'm just prototyping a few sample use cases
and a high-level over-view for further discussion within our organization.

In your response you mentioned the -t option. I have been using this option
during all parts of this thread of discussion. I have found that the -t
option is necessary to make connections across our routers. Before
inquiring about the REGISTER option I had been successful with using the
Proxy Server from the command line and everything worked as
expected...using the same client (VLC) and the same stream. At one point I
had 50 proxy streams running and was making multiple VLC connections to
stress test and was very pleased with performance.

Using current code I just now tried this test by running from command line
./live555ProxyServer -t -v
"rtsp://<ip>:<port>/axis-media/media.amp?resolution=480x270&fps=3&compression=40&videokeyframeinterval=18".

Connect from VLC works perfectly!!

Is there any chance that the -t option is not being processed for streams
that are being registered? Is there any debugging I can due to confirm
this?

Thanks again for your time and patience.

Bob
