<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">My basic
question is whether it is sufficient to test if openRTSP can connect
to my IP-camera to be able to say that Live555 supports my device and
I can go on working with it.</font></blockquote>
<div><br></div>
<div>Yes, with the caveat that "openRTSP" does not care
about the "presentation times" of each received frame.
Therefore, it's possible - if the stream's "presentation times"
are somehow bad - that "openRTSP" will receive your
stream OK, but a media player may not.</div>
<div><br></div>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">Additionally
what I've noticed during my testing is that openRTSP seems not to be
able to connect to a VLC streaming server (it says "Failed to setup
subsession: Missing or bad "Transport:" header"),
obviously openRTSP and VLC are not compatible (using ffmpeg as client
works fine) but how can this be since both are based on the same
library?</font></blockquote>
<div><br></div>
<div>VLC uses the "LIVE555 Streaming Media" code only when
it is acting as a RTSP *client*. When VLC acts as a RTSP
*server*, however, it uses a different RTSP implementation.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>It appears that some recent versions of VLC have changed the way
that they send "Transport:" headers in the response to RTSP
"SETUP" commands - in a way which our RTSP client code did
not handle properly.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I have now installed a new version (2010.06.16a) of the
"LIVE555 Streaming Media" code that should fix this
problem. Please download and use this instead for your
testing.</div>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">In a further
step I will need the decoded frames as arrays of rgb or grayscale
values, is this possible with Live555? The website says some video
processing is supported.</font></blockquote>
<div><br></div>
<div>No, I don't know where you got that impression. Our
software does not do any video decoding (or other video processing).
You will need to do that yourself.</div>
