Hi Ross,

Thank you for the reply. Not to get too far off-topic, but the Live Media 
Server documentation has a section describing support for Apple products and 
states the following:

As a special case, the server can also stream MPEG Transport Stream files to 
iPhones and iPads, using Apple's "HTTP Live Streaming" mechanism. (A single 
server can stream the same file(s) using either RTSP/RTP (to standard RTSP/RTP 
clients such as VLC), or using HTTP (to "Safari" on iPhones and iPads).)

For a streamed file to be viewable on an iPhone or iPad, it must be a MPEG 
Transport Stream file with H.264 video, encoded using H.264 "Baseline profile 
3.0, Baseline profile 3.1, or Main profile 3.1", or just "Baseline 3.1" for 
older iPhones. Also, each such Transport Stream file must have a corresponding 
'index file'. (However, unlike some other streaming servers for iPhones/iPads, 
the Transport Stream files are not broken up into segments; instead, they are 
left intact.)

To view such a stream from an iPhone or iPad, you do so using the "Safari" 
browser app, and use a "http://"; URL, not a "rtsp://" URL. Specifically, you 
enter an URL of the form

http://<server-name-or-ip-address>:<http-port-number>/<filename>
The above is the setup I am using and it definitely supports an http://... URL 
so long as the transport stream file is located in the same directory as the 
liveMediaServer binary.

Thank you,

Subject: [Live-devel] HTTP in Subdirectory with Live555 Media Server

Hi,


I'm using version 0.90 (2017-06-04) of Live555 Media Server cross-complied with 
config selection uClinux.


I have a MPEG transport stream capture (file.ts) and have generated the index 
file (file.tsx). These files are located in a subdirectory ("dir") under the 
directory in which live555MediaServer is launched.


Once live555 is launched, I can connect and play the file as:

rtsp://ip_address/dir/file.ts


I cannot connect and play the file as:

http://ip_address/dir/file.ts


However, if I move the files into the same directory that contains 
live555MediaServer, both scenarios below work fine:

rtsp://ip_address/file.ts

http://ip_address/file.ts


Am I doing something wrong? Any advice for me? It's important that live555 be 
able to stream content located in subdirectories.


Thank you!

Zach

The ?LIVE555 Media Server? is a RTSP server only.  ?rtsp://? URLs are all that 
it supports.  It does not support ?http://? URLs.

(The server *does* open a HTTP port, but this is used for (optional) 
RTSP-over-HTTP, which uses ?rtsp://? URLs, jus like regular RTSP.)
