Hi guys,
I am facing major problem in Streaming Live Unicast Stream as VoD (over RTSP/RTP/UDP) at multiple destinations.
Actually what i am trying to do is as follows :
Give/ingest a Live unicast Stream as input and create a VoD element and upon RTSP request capture the input stream and stream it to the requested destination.
I have done with satisfying a single request. But when i get the 2nd request to stream the same live unicast stream to other destination then first one is getting stopped and 2nd one is started streaming.(This is because VoD Server is trying to open live unicast stream multiple times, once for each request but, as it is a unicast stream it won't allow more than one opening).

So, any one can give me your valuable suggestions so that i will proceed further.

Thanks

Well, you should not use VoD for live streaming. You should use broadcast mode instead. Either HTTP or RTSP outputs can do waht you want.

I didn't get exactly from your statement. It will be helpful for me if you elaborate more on this with a example.
