<BLOCKQUOTE cite="" type="cite"><FONT face=Arial size=-1>I am using
the</FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman"><B>
'testOnDemandRTSPServer'</B></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=-1> to
support unicast streaming of MPEG transport streams to a PC running
VLC. This is working with no problems. When I started the<B>
'Live555 Media Server'</B> was unavailable. Now I am interested in adding
multicast support to the RTSP Server I'm running. From reading your
responses to prior posts to this message board, neither</FONT><FONT
face="Times New Roman"><B> 'testOnDemandRTSPServer'</B> nor</FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=-1><B> 'Live555 Media Server'</B> support multicast playback
(I'm assuming this is still the case). In order to support mutlicast,
'</FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman"><B>testMPEG1or2VideoStreamer'</B> would
have to be integrated/started to allow the running RTSP Server to perform
mutlicast playback. Is this correct or has multicast support been
incorporated into an RTSP Server?</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Yes, our RTSP server implementation supports multicast streams. This
is demonstrated in the various "test*Streamer" demo applications. E.g.,
You can demonstrate this by uncommenting the line</DIV>
<DIV>//#define IMPLEMENT_RTSP_SERVER 1</DIV>
<DIV>in "testProgs/testMPEG1or2VideoStreamer.cpp".</DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE cite="" type="cite"><FONT face=Arial size=-1>Does the
existing RTSP Server & streamer software support
the RFC's 2326's multicast example (below)?</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><BR>Yes.<BR></DIV>
<BLOCKQUOTE cite="" type="cite"><FONT face=Arial size=-1> If it does
would it be able to handle having the client set the multicast IP destination

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>No, because that is a silly idea. It's the role of the server, not
clients, to choose whether - and with what address/port - a stream is
multicast. See<FONT face="Lucida Grande" color=#000000 size=-4>
