<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>From Matroska developpers:<BR> <BR>"Live streaming is the equivalent of TV broadcasting on the internet. There are 2 families of servers for that. The RTP/RTSP ones and the HTTP servers. Matroska is not meant to be used over RTP. RTP already has timing and channel mechanisms that would wasted if doubled in Matroska."<BR> <BR><br> <BR><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: finlayson@live555.com<br>Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2013 15:17:54 -0700<br>To: live-devel@ns.live555.com<br>Subject: Re: [Live-devel] mediaServer MP4 support<br><br>I'm not planning on supporting streaming from 'MP4'-format files anytime soon, because:<div><span class="ecxApple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>1/ It'd be a lot of work.
