I'm new at live555, i read doxygen references and make some tests to start understanding how it works. Now i plan something to do, i think simple, I want to stream a video file (.mpg) on demand, but with one feature... I want to specify the duration to stream in seconds, or make it an infinite loop.
This is something that the *client* requests (using the RTSP protocol). It does not require any special support from the server. I.e., our existing, unmodified server code can do this.
So, suppose I have a video of 10 mins, I want to stream on demand only 1 min...
This is easy to do from your RTSP client (and, as I noted above, without requiring any modification to server code). Note, for example, how the "openRTSP" demo application (a RTSP client) implements the "-s <initial-seek-time>" and "-d <duration>" options.
or make it an infinite loop, so when 10 mins are streamed to a client, it must restart from 0 again.
Again, this is easy to do - from the client. Note, for example, how "openRTSP" implements the "-c" option.
See <http://www.live555.com/openRTSP/>, and the "openRTSP" source code (in "testProgs/playCommon.cpp").
