Comments

The RTSP Server keeps an internal list of folders which store the source files for the server. When a client asks for a file to stream, the RTSP Server will look for the requested file in this source folder list, in order.

So the server looks in the first folder first. If it does not find it, it looks in the next folder and so on until it finds a filter containing the requested file.

This function allows you to modify the server list. You can add, modify or remove folders from this list as follows:

Add folders to the list by setting index to -1 or SourceCount and newValue != NULL (where SourceCount is the number of folders in the list, as indicated by IltmmRTSPServer::get_SourceCount).
Modify folders in the list by setting index to a value between 0 and SourceCount - 1 and newValue != NULL
Remove folders from the list by setting index to a value between 0 and SourceCount - 1 and newValue = NULL
