RTSP filter for IP cameras
Mechi Fendel
I've posted a few times but still have not received any real answer...
Where can I get information about connecting using DirectShow to IP cameras?
I understand there's a RTSP protocol.
If DirectShow doesn't have the capability, where can I find out about an SDK
or dll to help my DirectShow application accept video from IP cameras?
Thanks for any help,
Mechi

There are several free for commercial use, published RTSP DirectShow Source Filters, with full source code in C++. i must admit that it took a LOT of searching to find them!
I will tell you about one that I think is the best. Look at the source code for VLC (VideoLAN) and pull out the files:
access.c
real.c
rtsp.c
rtsp.h
That's all you need.
Look at the sample Microsoft has for a source filter for DirectShow and add these files and compile and VIOLA! you have a DirectShow Source Filter that will play any RTSP stream !!!
It's easy to compile this in Visual Studio 6.0--it will compile in later versions of VisualStudio but you have to know what you are doing and you have to tweek the code.
This makes it easy to use DirectShow to play RTSP streams from ip cameras.
I am amazed that nobody has posted this code before.

VLC has come up before in this newsgroup.
Isn't VLC GPL'd? In that case, you need to make your application's source
code available if you use it.

I verified that it is GPL'd.

Just to reinforce the point.
Use of GPL code in non-GPL'd projects is a violation of the license and is
legally considered copyright violation.

Exactly. Here's some useful information from a post in the Vista dshow
forum from Ralf G.:
"AFAIK there's no source for Morgan's DS RTSP filter, however the library
used internally to accomplish the RTSP/RTP/RCP is the open source liveMedia
library available from http://www.live555.com under LGPL. You are free to
write your own DirectShow RTP/RTCP/RTSP filters using this library.
There are no standard ones (at least free) availble AFAIK."
LGPL is a more friendly license for most commercial software developers:

Hi Bill,
I have tried to compile the RTSP filter as you have explained but unfortunately not getting the success.
Please share the code if you have done already.
Thanks in advance

Sushil

Did you READ any of the messages you responded to? He told you exactly how
to build exactly that filter from the VLC source code.
