Please use this thread to discuss any problems with the RTSP streaming environment (if you've no idea what I'm talking about, see my blog posting)

A common problem on S60 devices is aligning the browser and Realplayer access points - check Realplayer's access point (Tools > Settings > Applications > Realplayer > Streaming > Network) is the same as the browser's.

Also, Vodafone in hte UK seem to be doing some network reconfiguration at the moment, so you might have problems on their network.

Hi,
I want to send RTSP commands for delayed response like, i want to Pause a particular stream after 5 mts and play the same stream again after 10 mts. Is it possible using RTSP or how i can accomplish this ? The stream is going to be unicasted.
Iam sorry, if it is the wrong place for post.

Regards,
Rupesh

Your question isn't really what I created the thread for, but that's not such a problem.

I'm pretty sure what you are proposing isn't possible with RTSP today. It probably could be, either with additions to the RTSP spec, or some proprietary server-side modifications.

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve? I'm not sure why you can't just set the device to issue the pause command after 5 minutes, rather than issuing a pause command now that should be actioned in 5 minutes? Given the device needs to be up and running in order to sink the RTSP stream, this approach seems much easier?

Hi Martin, Thanks for the response.
The "Pause" thing was just an example.
What iam trying to do is like this .. The end user directs the server that he needs a stream to be unicasted to his display after a fixed time intervel, say 60 mts and the IP streaming should start automatically after 60 mts without any user intervention, and after wards every thing should be like normal. Is thereany way by which we can include this additional offset ( delay ) in the RTSP command ?

Sorry if I'm being slow, but I still don't understand what in this use-case can't be done device-side? Symbian is a multi-tasking environment, so it's possible to set an event timer to trigger an event in the future. You can then either quit your app, or "minimise" it so that it doesn't appear in the UI but is still running in the background in some form.

So given your use-case is possible device-side, does trying to do it server-side not make things more complicated? If I'm missing something here then apologies!
