Hello, I created a H264VideoRTPSource.cpp, and was able to
successfully compile it with the live.com code. I assumed  that it was
successfully compiles, as I was able to see the object files, and I
had no errors. Then I compiled the VLC code with the newly compiled
live.com code. Upon trying to play back the stream i get the following
given below:

sdp=v=0
o=StreamingServer 3312013312 1101731661000 IN IP4 139.23.201.78
s=/trevor_h264.mp4
u=http:///
e=admin@
c=IN IP4 0.0.0.0
t=0 0
a=control:*
a=range:npt=0-   5.20000
m=video 0 RTP/AVP 96
a=control:trackID=2
a=rtpmap:96 H264/90000
a=fmtp:96 profile-level-id=674d00;
sprop-parameter-sets=Z00AHpZSBYmI,aOuOIA==; packetization-mode=1

[00000400] livedotcom demuxer warning: RTP subsession 'video/H264'
failed(RTP payload format unknown or not supported)
[00000400] livedotcom demuxer error: PLAY failed No RTSP session is
currently in progress

[00000400] main demuxer warning: no access_demux module matching
"rtsp" could be loaded

[00000401] main access debug: looking for access2 module
[00000401] main access debug: probing 4 candidates


Also I think I did map the code properly by adding the following lines
in the livedotcom code, in the demuxOpen section.

 else if( !strcmp( sub->codecName(), "H264" ) )
	    {
		tk->fmt.i_codec = VLC_FOURCC( 'H', '2', '6', '4' );
	    }

Is there any other place I would need to make the changes, or is it
more likely that I have not integrated my H264VideoRTPSource class in
the live media code?

Thanks. 
Hussain
