real-time fro</title></head><body>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Hi everyoneÅC<br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>I use testOnDemandRTSPServer to stream a
video (has a format, say "WY")</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>and can use openRTSP to receive the video
stream and save it as a file,</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>named video-A-1.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Also, I have a player that can read from
a WY format video file and display it. Now, what I want to do is: let
the player play the WY video from the testOnDemandRTSPServer in
real-time.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>I thought a lot and still can not
find a solution. Can anybody give me some
advice?</blockquote>

<div>Can your video player take input from 'stdin'? If so, use
"openRTSP", with the "-v" option, to write the
received video stream to stdout, and pipe this into your video
player.</div>

<div>If your video player can't take input from 'stdin' (or a named
pipe), then you will need to modify your video player client (assuming
that you have the source code) to include our RTSP client code, as VLC
has done. Alternatively, you could modify VLC (which already
includes our RTSP client code) to include your video decoder, and use
VLC as your player.</div>
