Unable to playback rtsp streams using 3rd party players about sharprtsp HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi
I think Nicolas was adding some PUSH support but I've not used that bit of the library.

What I've done with the library on my own projects is
a) Take the RTSPCameraExample
b) Modify it to use ffmpeg via its 'C API' to feed it YUV images and get back H264 NALs.
c) Send out the NALs to RTSP clients from RTSPCameraExample. The clients just connect to rtsp://127.0.0.1/video

@RogerHardiman thanks, but would that mean we would be limited to using the client/camera example here or writing custom client side code, to playback the stream?

Ideally what we need is a rtsp server solution, where we can host our external h264/rtp streams but be able to use both, custom written rtsp clients, but also playback using well known rtsp clients such as VLC without writing custom code for the client side

Hi @mbullock976, the RTSP push part is not well tested, I only make some small test and only work in some specific case (for example only when client ask for multicast stream).
I manage to get the stream with VLC when it use multicast and not on the same computer (for multicast there is an option to force in VLC ) but only on a specific case.
In theory you can use generic client (like vlc) but there is a lot of work to do to handle all the case (udp unicast, tcp transport, multiple client, reconnection, ...) and i can't allocate enough time to do that.

If you want to understand the different problems, I advise you to use wireshark and check the RTSP dialog and UDP stream.
