That’s correct.  The Transport Stream ‘indexing’ mechanism works only on prerecorded Transport Stream files; not a live stream.

This is easy to do.  For VOD streaming, you’d add a “ServerMediaSession” object to the RTSP server (and then one or more appropriate “ServerMediiaSubsession” subclass objects; see the “testOnDemandRTSPServer” code for an illustration of this).  For the proxy server, you’d add instead a “ProxyServerMediaSession” object (see the proxy server code: “proxyServer/live555ProxyServer.cpp” for an illustration of this).  I.e., one RTSP server, serving both a VOD stream, and a proxied stream (with different names, of course).
