[M4IF Technotes] Streaming MPEG-4 live

[Nicholas Smit]

Thanks Boris, 
But it didn't work - the players dont even attempt to make a network
connection with inlined e-rtsp.
Using rtsp they (qt and real) do make a connection for the duration of
the clip, but don't display anything. In fact, after receiving about 1k
of data, they (presumably) don't ask for any more, and don't get more.
Using e-rtsp (as a normal "open url") did create a nice garbled green
image in realone though... :) which is better than nothing. 
Who's job is it to parse these URL's - the player, the plug-in, or
MPEG-4 itself? Does the player look at something like "rtsp" and decide
it knows how to do that, get the data, and then pass it to the (MPEG-4)
codec to decode?
According to the MPEG-4 component, my sdp url is well formed right?
Thanks,
Nik
