Implementing RTSP Video Streaming

Question

I need to write an application in C #. The application is a streaming client-server using the rtsp protocol. It is very difficult for me to start the implementation, because I have never made this such a large application. If someone can give me some hints or recommendations, I will be grateful.

Answer 1

Do not do it yourself if you have not written a network application before. It is not an easy task to write a scalable and reliable network application, and it is even more difficult to implement an existing protocol so that the implementation is fully compatible with the specification. You will fail or ultimately exceed your budget.

It is much easier and cheaper to buy an existing component or integrate an existing server.

Google "streamcoders" to search for a library that can handle RTSP.

Answer 2

I implemented RFC2326 Aka Rtsp in fully managed code.

There is a CodeProject article @ http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/507218/Managed-Media-Aggregation-using-Rtsp-and-Rtp

And the home page for the http://net7mma.codeplex.com/ library

Implementation took less than 30 days, is fully compliant with standards and has project support 2.0.

No over budget just for performance ..

Hope this helps you!
