[Live-devel] live555MediaServer refresh

[Ross Finlayson]

The purpose of a Transport Stream file's 'index file' (i.e., ".tsx" file) is to support 'trick play' operations - i.e., seek, fast-forward, reverse play - on the stream.  If you don't have an index file, then the server can still stream the file, but only from the beginning, without any 'trick play' operation.  Do you really intend to allow a client to request a 'trick play' operation on a stream, while its underlying file is still growing?  If not, then you don't need to create or use an index file at all.

If you do, then you should do so using your own copy of the code - using a different class name than "DynamicRTSPServer" - so that it will not be affected by any modifications to the released "LIVE555 Streaming Media" code.  (In any case, of course, your changes will be subject to the LGPL.)
