Subject: Standards: RTP, RTSP, MPEG, etc.
So I am looking into standards based streaming media and the various
options. Since Real is one of the main proponents of RTSP, etc I am
assuming that they have fairly full support. However, I am still a
little unclear of what the level of support is.
1) It appears that there is only a 0.6 referenence implementation
available. Are there plans to have an update to this? Is there
documentation on the changes between 0.6 and 1.0? I can't find a 0.6
RTSP spec to even compare the protocols.
2) If somebody was to implement an RTSP embeded server, what would be
the requirements to use G2 to view the content?
*) What transports are supported? RTP? Anything else?
*) Does G2 assume the use of SDP?
*) What actual file formats can be viewed via this? If I was to
stream an MPEG2 video file via RTP over an RTSP url, would I be able to
do this with G2? E.g. rtsp://foo:8554/bar.mpg
*) In other words, what would the requirements be to use G2 with a
non-Real server?
