[Live-devel] How to get testOnDemandRTSPServer (unicast) to take a live h.264 feed coming from a UDP port

I hope you allow for UDP packets getting lost (which is possible, even when UDP packets are sent locally).

Then you will need to:
- Use a “BasicUDPSource” to read from the UDP socket
- Feed this into a parser - which you would need to write - that parses the incoming UDP data, and outputs a single NAL unit at a time (i.e. one NAL unit for each “getNextFrame()” request by the downstream object).  Each such NAL unit should *not* begin with a ’00 00 00 01’ ’start code’.
- Feed this into a “H264VideoStreamDiscreteFramer” (*not* a “H264VideoStreamFramer”).
(This chain of objects would be created by the “createNewStreamSource()” virtual function in your “OnDemandServerMediaSubsession” subclass.
