<div>Hey,</div>
<div>I am new to RTSP and streaming as such.</div>
<div>After going through some stuff, I realized that to support</div>
<div>seeking in a streaming server/client setup, we need to use RTSP.</div>
<div>So for that livemedia (live555) seems to be the best place to start with right?</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Now for my query, I am using Darwin Streaming Server as my server for MP4</div>
<div>streams. Now what I want to do is use live555 for my client. I started off with the </div>
<div>openRTSP test program. It seems to work ok-okish. There seems to be problems</div>
<div>concerned with the media format support. The faulty scenarios are like :</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. If I use openRTSP to receive files (and to write the output to an MP4 file), the audio isn't there at times, though it has been stored.</div>
<div>2. The server sends a MEDIA NOT SUPPORTED reply to the DESCRIPTION request, after </div>
<div>which the connection is closed - And this happens for most of the MP4 files. Is there a work around for this? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>What I want to do is just receive the stream and pass it to my MP4 parser. And let it handle any inconsistencies? So the flow intended is :</div>
<div> i. Get the decoder initialization information (media initializations etc), which can be done through SDP right?</div>
<div> ii. Create two receivers for Audio and Video, and then just write the audio and video frames to their respective buffers. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is there an easier way to implement MP4 files streaming server/client which does not depend on the media (audio and video) type support ? Any kinda pointer would be deeply appreciated.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>looking forward to the replies :D</div>
<div> </div>
<div>sincerely</div>
<div>Jayant</div>
