Raw Normal View History

* What is UDP src/sink?
This plugin is *not* meant to be a professional stream broadcast
solution, like icecast or realaudio or whatever. But the future RTP plugins shall not do the actual transmission/reception of packets on the network themselve but the Application developer would be encouraged to use these plugins for that.
* Shortcomings
Even given our modest ambitions, the current code doesn't handle
caps negotiation robustly.
* Todo
The udp mode should include the caps every five packets
(approx). The tcp mode can do bi-directional negotiation.
Perhaps this plugin can be the example of how to do caps negotiation
via a point-to-point protocol.
Add some example of udpsrc/udpsink .
Update the man of gst-launch with some interesting pipelines .
