[streaming] Re: Decoding MPEG4 video via UDP

[Christian Gan]

Yeah, if I create an RTSP server using LIVE libraries and stream using
that, things are just peachy.  What I'm trying to do is separate out the
RTSP side of things and just stream the video/audio out myself.  Problem
is, I initially used RTP but the vlc module reports that it only
supports type 32 and 31 (which is MPEG1/2, MPEG-TS).  So for simplicity
sake I switched to using UDP in hopes that I can force VLC to understand
that it is a MPEG4 video stream.

UDP? are you sure you don't mean rtp???
Anyways. If you wanna stream anything other then MPEG-TS, you should  
create an RTSP Server session, and feed VLC a SDP file or a rtsp://  
link.
