We don't support this kind of URL by default, because such URLs are not defined in the RTSP standard.  However, you could support this by subclassing "RTSPServer" and reimplementing the virtual member function "lookupServerMediaSession()".


> keeping LGPL licensing terms and conditions in mind?

If you subclass the existing classes, but make no change to the existing code (.hh or .cpp files), then - according to the LGPL - you can distribute your product without having to distribute your subclass code.  Note, however, other implications of the LGPL, including the fact that you must, upon request, upgrade your product(s) to use the latest version of the "LIVE555 Streaming Media" code.

You can do this by subclassing "RTSPServer::RTSPClientConnection", and then reimplementing the virtual member function "handleCmd_DESCRIBE".  (Ditto for any other RTSP request that you want to have a 'callback' on.)
