(That function is used only for payload formats (e.g., MPEG-4 audio or video) where the configuration string is encoded as a hexadecimal string: two hex digits for each byte of binary data - e.g. "DEADBEEFB00B".) Vorbis, like H.264, uses a more efficient encoding: Base64.<div><br></div><div>According to RFC 5215 (the Vorbis audio RTP payload format specification), section 6, the configuration string (which is accessible, from client code, using "MediaSubsession::fmtp_configuration()" (or, equivalently, "MediaSubsession::fmtp_config()")) is the Base64 representation of the packed structure defined in section 3.2.1.</div><div><br></div><div>Therefore, first call "base64Decode()" (see "liveMedia/include/Base64.hh") on the configuration string. That should give you a binary data structure that's formatted according to section 3.2.1 of RFC 5215. Depending on what your Vorbis decoder accepts, you might need to do further parsing of that binary data.</div><div><br></div><div>BTW, if, for testing, you need a RTSP Vorbis audio (and VP8 video) stream, then you can use the "LIVE555 Media Server" to stream a ".webm" file (which contains Vorbis audio and VP8 video tracks). Our server code automatically demultiplexes these tracks from the file for streaming. (If you need examples of such files, just let me know.)</div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
