SAP Discovery in VLC for IOS

Postby John Connah » 27 Jan 2014 14:49

Hi,

Notice that the network streams identified from the SAP Discoverer in IOS are no longer displayed in this release of VLC for IOS.(See code below). Its still there in VLCLib but just not displayed.
Is there an issue with SAP streams or has this been accidentally removed? If there is an issue with SAP, what is the problem as I am looking in this area at the moment and using vlc to identify
network video transports.

Cheers for any info
John

Code: Select all

/* if (SYSTEM_RUNS_IOS7_OR_LATER) _sectionHeaderTexts = @[@"Universal Plug'n'Play (UPNP)", @"File Transfer Protocol (FTP)", @"Network Streams (SAP)"]; else*/ _sectionHeaderTexts = @[@"Universal Plug'n'Play (UPNP)", @"File Transfer Protocol (FTP)"];

We never shipped working SAP support on iOS so far. It was just included during development. It was removed from the release despite working well because the module in question wasn't relicensed to LGPLv2.1 yet (from the GPLv2), so it may not be used on the App Store so far.

We will relicense the module (hopefully) by the end of the week, so it will be enabled in a forthcoming minor 2.2 release.
