RTMP Flash Streaming
Abstract
(Draft) VLC is a wonderful media player and streaming server. Adobe is about to publish the RTMP protocol spec in the first half of this year, so I think it's about time to add and improve flash streaming function in VLC.
Detail
(TODO)
timeline
Before May 23:
- Read more RTMP protocal documents.
May 23 - July 5:
- RTMP input works half of the time.
- Fix bug and improve AMF/RTMP message decoder and encoder (I already found it will segment fault in function rtmp_handler_invoke() of modules/access/rtmp/rtmp_amf_flv.c). The source code of gnash project can be referenced to.
- Fix other bugs in RTMP input.
- VLC can stream FLV over HTTP.
- FLV Encapsulation over HTTP is not work.
- MPEG-TS Encapsulation over HTTP with FLV file, the Video can not streaming(Audio Only)
July 6 - July 13:
- Mid-term evaluations, Review the function I had implement, and fix the bug which had found.
July 14 - August 9:
- Possibly rewrite from scratch RTMP output (never worked).
- Totally rewrite the RTMP access output module work flow (Reference to the existed HTTP access output module implement), make the RTMP access output module can listen and handle concurrent requests.
- Make RTMP access output module successfully handshake with flashplayer.
- After flashplayer can successfully handshake and invoke connect -> createStream -> play with our RTMP access output module, make sure sending the right packed flv video to flashplayer (Base on the existed source code and this doc: http://osflash.org/flv)
- Pause/Seek/Resume support
August 10 - August 25:
- code review and testing. Fix bugs if necessary.
September 3 - September 9:
- Submitting required code samples to Google
