How does range "npt" parameter works?

[cmert]

Does anybody know how range parameter works and how to use it? Can it be used in the rtsp url or SDP file or anywhere else.

Thanks,

A description of the form of the RTSP Range header can be found in RFC2326 - At the moment however, there is only a partial implementation of the Range header within the RTSP server component of VLC.

Thanks robc,
But how do you pass that variable to the RTSP stream in VLC?

Using VLC as a RTSP client, you may be able to use the --start-time <time> parameter, but I have not tested this at all and would not be surprised if it does not work or has unpredictable results at this point in time.
