[Live-devel] Loop Streaming File to Live

[Sajo John]

Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply. I'm basically trying to do a file to live 
implementation that streams the video file continuously to RTP and once 
the EOF is reached it should continue streaming from the beginning of 
the video. It should be a continuous stream without any breaks/gaps 
while looping. I'm okay with using any suitable Video File Format. 
Perhaps you could suggest the right format and encoding (H264 etc.) that 
would be ideal for this case. So once I receive the file I will just 
convert it first to this ideal format and then use it in the 
implementation. Also, do you know about any sample code available that 
implements this?

Thanks and Regards,
Sajo
