[AG-TECH] Extended Video Services and VLC

[SangWoo Han]

Dear Gurcharan,

Yes, you can simply modify ExtendedVideoProducerService for on-demand
content streaming. If one wants to deliver a video file on local host, one
can change the executable parameters of VLC and put specific items such
as the file name in ExtendedVideoProducerService. (refer to VLC command line
interface: http://www.videolan.org/doc/vlc-user-guide/en/index.html)

I believe that this is a good way for providing cumstomizable video producer
services.

I additionally explain the way of session announcement of
ExtendedVideo{Producer, Consumer}Services for live streaming in PS #1. If
you need this, please refer to it.

Best regards,
SangWoo

PS #1) To announce video stream (to be used in a Venue),
ExtendedVideoProducerService uses a combination of SDP (session description
protocol) and SAP (session announcement protocol). SDP message specify a
multicast address for video delivery (to be assigned by a Venue) and a video
fromat (e.g. DV or HDV). As parsing the SDP message,
ExtendedVideoConsumerService understands the characteristics of the stream,
which include the multicast address for video delivery and the video format.
