Hej Estelle

Using your live555 libraries and ffmpeg, I am trying to write an h264
player that uses RTSP. Although I successfully seem to be receiving
the RTP packets, they are not being decoded. In researching this problem
I have noticed the following:

ffmpeg h264 decoder seems to be looking for 001

0x000001 is the start code for any H.264 NAL unit!


When stepping through mplayer code, it finds this 001.
When I look at the stream with Wireshark, I do not see a 001.


The start units are not transmitted via RTP. The marker bit indicates, that a NAL-unit is finished - then your client has to add the start code to the currently received frame

My program that uses live555 and ffmpeg can't find 001 in the frame.

Questions:

Is the live555 library adding this 001 and if so where and how do I tell
it to do it?

afterGettingFrame1() function in your Client - most probably a subclass of MediaSink

take a deeper look into RFC3984 for H.264 over RTP and the H.264 specification itself which answers most of you questions:
