a. Has anyone tried the LIVE555 code running it as a server
successfully for RTP over HTTP</font></blockquote>
<div><br></div>
<div>Do you really mean "RTP over HTTP"? Our server
implementation does not (yet) support "RTP over HTTP".
I think you mean "RTP over RTSP".</div>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font size="-1"> for compressed live
video (such as H.264 coming from a camera - not just playing off a
disk and not just uncompresssed video) ?<br>
<br>
If so,<br>
b. What was your experience - did you notice any video quality issues
- or any other difference from playing it over UDP ?<br>
<br>
c. Did you need to make any changes to the LIVE555 code to get this to
work or did the existing code base work out of the box
?</font></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font size="-1">d. Can I use a generic
client such as VLC player to play this stream or would I need to write
a program that uses code similar to the OpenRTSP client with -t
switch.</font></blockquote>
<div><br></div>
<div>You can use VLC. However, if you want to ensure that you
always receive the stream via RTP-over-TCP (even it it can also be
received via UDP), then you should set the appropriate flag in VLC's
"Input & Codecs" Preferences panel.</div>
