VoD Support for RTP over RTSP (RTP TCP) and RTSP/RTP in HTTP

[smpn]

I'll soon be starting work on enhancing VLC's VoD streaming to support RTP over RTSP (RTP over TCP aka interleaved RTP) and QuickTime Player's special RTSP/RTP in HTTP tunnel. This will allow the VoD server to stream to clients behind NAT and behind web proxies. Currently, if I'm not mistaken, VOD only supports sending RTP/UDP to clients.

It apears the Live555 RTSP library that VLC uses already supports RTP over RTSP, perhaps I just need to update the bundle and add some new hooks. RTSP/RTP tunneled over HTTP would be new though, I would probably borrow some code from Darwin Streaming Server for that (it would need to listen on port 80 for the player fallback GET/POST)

If anyone else is interested in this feature, can offer suggestions, etc please add to this thread. I have permission from my bosses to submit patches back to the VLC project.

Hello,

This is good news.

Could you post that on the vlc-devel mailing list?

You should definitively contact jpsaman and/or thedj.
