If you don't have an index file, then the server can still stream the file, but only from the beginning, without any 'trick play' operation. Do you really intend to allow a client to request a 'trick play' operation on a stream, while its underlying file is still growing? If not, then you don't need to create or use an index file at all.<div><br></div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">Do you think we can go on using this little hack</div></blockquote><br></div><div>If you do, then you should do so using your own copy of the code - using a different class name than "DynamicRTSPServer" - so that it will not be affected by any modifications to the released "LIVE555 Streaming Media" code.
