[vlc-devel] Support for ONVIF Profile G

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Hello,

Currently, there is no way to start a demuxer (including live555) from anywhere but the beginning. The core will isssue a seek request after the initial PLAY...
Conversely, the core does not provide the duration or end time, but just sends a stop at the approximate time.

So you will need to improve the interface between demux plugins and the input thread (core). LibVLC is just the tip of the iceberg.


BTW, why do you represent time as a string?

(Sorry for top post)

I am looking at adding a modification to vlc to support ONVIF Profile G 
to support playing recorded video. This is done by setting the Range 
header on the RTSP Play request. Live555 already supports setting the 
RTSP header. My thought was to add a new function to the 
lib/media_player.c function called:

void libvlc_media_player_set_abs_range( libvlc_media_player_t *p_mi,
char* fromClock, char* toClock)

This would then be used by the modules/access/live555.cpp file to send 
the arguments to the live555 subsystem. This meets my needs as my vlc 
player is embedded in another application that uses the library interface.

Before I headed down this path wanted to make sure this sounded 
reasonable to everyone and no one had a problem with the new 
media_player function.
Any thoughts? Anyone think of a better way? Any suuggestions?
David
