[Live-devel] Maximum interleaved RTP packet size

[Hansen Jan Rørgård]

Another way to add custom headers, that I have found useful, is to inherit from the RTSPClient class and implement the setRequestFields function. By first calling the implementation in the base class (RTSPClient::setRequestFields) it is now possible to add custom headers.

If you're interested, here's a patch that adds custom headers to the RequestRecord class, RTSPClient::sendRequest, and the RTSPClient::sendSetupCommand method.
I've only added it to sendSetupCommand() as that's the one I needed to add it to, but I don't see any reason for the other SsendXXXCommand() methods can't accept the same.
I'll leave it up to you which ones you ultimately add it to, if at all :)
