'Usage
 
Dim instance As RTSPServer

public class RTSPServer : System.IDisposable

public ref class RTSPServer : public System.IDisposable

The RTSPServer object provides high level functions for using the LEAD RTSP Sink filter to implement a RTSP server.

The RTSPServer class keeps an internal list of folders containing the media files to be streamed. The files can be in more than one root source folders. Additionally, any files present in subfolders of the root folder are accessible. The source folders are added with SetSourceFolder.

DVR buffers are treated as live streams while they are being updated. When a user attempts to stream one of these live streams, the server will stream from the live position with a latency set using SetLiveLatency.

The server can be protected by limiting access to a certain users using SetSecurity. The security settings can be the same for all folders or each folder can have different access settings.

Files with compression settings that don't match the compressions supported by the RTSP Sink are dynamically recompressed. Use LoadSettingsFromFile and LoadSettingsFromStream to override the compression settings used by the encoders.

Once the settings have been set, specify the IP address on which the server will listen using TargetAddress.

When everything is set, start the server and specify on which port to listen using StartServer.
