<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"> Greetings! and thanks for the quick response. I was successfully able to perform the steps that you havd detailed in the mail below and test RTSP over HTTP tunelling. The following were my observations and wanted to know if this is expected:</SPAN></div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"></SPAN> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">1. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and used two instances of the terminal ; one running live555mediaserver and the other retrieveing bipbop-gear1-all.ts using "./openRTSP -T 8000 rtsp://10.0.2.15:8554/bipbop-gear1-all.ts". This file which is given as a test file is around 44.5MB. It took 1807 seconds (~30 minutes). Is this delay of transmission normal or I am facing some other problems? Next I was successfully able to play it using movie player. The documentation says that the original file is not segregated into multiple files but segregated into VIRTUAL files. <VAR id=yui-ie-cursor></VAR></SPAN></div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">2. Next I followed the same procedure for a m4e file (petrov.m4e; an example file in m4e format). Even though I was able to successfully retrieve it. the type it generated was "unknown". Hence I could not play the stream (unlike the bipbop-gear1-all.ts which was retrieved as MPEG2 transport stream and was successfully able to play with movie player).</SPAN></div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"></SPAN> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">Thanks in advance</SPAN></div>

<DIV>You are confusing two different things:
<DIV><BR>
<DIV>1/ RTSP-over-HTTP</DIV>
<DIV>2/ HTTP Live Streaming</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Our server supports both of these, but they are different protocols. "HTTP Live Streaming" uses HTTP, not RTSP at all, and is used for streaming to Apple iPhones or iPads. (Also, this type of streaming works only for certain kinds of Transport Stream files - not other kinds of audio+video.)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>What you want is "RTSP-over-HTTP", which our server also supports. This is the regular RTSP protocol, but tunneled over HTTP.</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>To use it, run the "live555MediaServer", and note the port number that it displays when it starts up:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>"(We use port <http-port-num> for optional RTSP-over-HTTP tunneling ..."</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>You can use our "openRTSP" command-line RTSP client, with the "-T <http-port-num>" option to test this. See <<A href="http://www.live555.com/openRTSP/#other-options" rel=nofollow target=_blank>http://www.live555.com/openRTSP/#other-options</A>>.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I.e., run</DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="WHITE-SPACE: pre" class=yiv2131950142Apple-tab-span></SPAN>openRTSP -T <http-port-num> <rtsp-url></DIV>
<DIV>Where <http-port-num> is the port number that "live555MediaServer" displays (at the end), and <rtsp-url> is the "rtsp://" URL that "live555MediaServer" displays (near the beginning) for your file.</DIV><BR><BR>
