Simple H264 Encoder doesn't work with hardware decoders? about sharprtsp HOT 2 OPEN

Had never thought of using the simple encoder as a placeholder NAL.
On my projects I capture the NALs for my placeholders and save the in a file and use that.

You can do that easily.
Suppose you have a JPEG
You can do something like ffmpeg -i picture.jpeg outputfile.264

This will give you a H264 file representing your one JPEG.
I then play that file out as my placeholder NAL.

Your .264 file will end up with headers starting either 00 00 01 or starting 00 00 00 01 for each part of the video, first the SPS data block, then the PPS data block and then one or more NALs that make the image.

Don't the Nal packets contain timing info? replaying the same packet seems to cause issues for us? currently we reencode the same frame constantly, which i think isn't needed.
