-GstRTSP is an RTSP server built on top of GStreamer (http://gstreamer.net).
-
-Currently there is no configuration tools for this server so any streamed 
-files need to be hardcoded into the file:
-src/rtsp-media.c
-
-Edit in your sources after the examples found under the section headlines by
-* STREAMING CONFIGURATION
-
-Once the server is started you should be able to view the streams at:
-rtsp://localhost:1554/@name_of_stream@
-
-The replacement for @name_of_stream@ is from the rtsp-media.c editing you did above.
-
-You should be able to get the http proxy link working without any editing of the rtsp-media.c file as it points to an online http file:
-
-rtsp://localhost:1554/rtphttpproxy
