Response</title></head><body>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Times New Roman">The
remaining piece of the puzzle for me deals with a web client that I
have written that provides interaction with the live stream. I
am trying to get a timestamp back from the media server to the client,
and ultimately available to a Javascript function on the page. I
can formulate a RTSP request from the client in the form of a URL that
triggers an internal method in the media server which provides the
current timestamp. How can I get this time stamp back to the
client?</font></blockquote>

<div>What exactly is this "timestamp" supposed to be?
You realize, I hope, that every RTP packet sent by the server (and
received by the client) already has a timestamp, which gets mapped to
an accurate "presentation time" that the client software
(e.g., VLC) sees.</div>

<div>If you're trying to do something that's outside the RTSP/RTP/RTCP
standard, then this probably isn't a good idea.</div>
