[Live-devel] Getting the h264 video bytes

[stevee]

Thankyou Ross, your answer has solved the issue.

To answer your question first - yes I needed to show the playback so 
that people can watch the stream and we can analyze the stats based on 
what they saw and match it against their experience of the quality at 
specific points in the stream.

I compiled up the test Client previously and got that going with the 
stream data access because in the test Client example it goes through 
the process of setting up the subsession streams which in turn give 
access to the sink. But the Client does not export the video out for a 
player so moving on to the proxy that is better. But the proxy creates 
the client for you buried down the class hierarchy and then its hard to 
figure out how to override and hook into that in the same way that the 
test Client example shown.

By telling me that using the transcode filter was the correct way, it 
cut down the options from a lot to this one and, homing in on that since 
your last post, I have now got the filter working and have access to the 
data block bytes. So I am all good now !

The library and all of its classes are well written and work amazingly 
well. But with only Doxygen class diagrams its so hard to know the 
higher level strategy and direction one has to pick from the myriad to 
know how to get a problem solved. With more familiarity of all of the 
classes and API calls I am sure it would be no problem.

Thanks again.
