Possible to pause/resume an RTSP VoD stream on the server?

Postby El_Gusano » 08 Aug 2007 23:47

Hi,

I've been assigned the following task:

Serve a VoD stream, have many clients connect to it and while each is playing on its own, have the server pause all streams.
I've broken the task down to this:

-Set up a VLM instance (telnet interface) and create a new VoD object
-Use any MPEG video as input
-Connect to the stream using a windowed VLC instance as client (repeat for more than 1 client)
-While playing, connect to the telnet interface and send a "control objname pause" command

I set up everything and had the stream play on my client vlc instance. But when I issue the "control objname pause" command, nothing happens.
Is it possible to have the server pause all VoD streams? Or is it only possible for the client to issue a pause command? Even so, I've heard that when a client resumes a stream, that doesn't work.

You can't pause a stream server side. You can pause the stream client side. (In VoD streams, the client controls)
