roc_sender_bind & roc_receiver_connect

[paulharter]

Hi,

A little while ago roc_sender_bind and roc_receiver_connect were removed, so that now only receivers bind and only senders connect. It would be really useful to have it work both ways. What was the reason for removing them?

Thanks,

Hi,

I don't remember if they were ever present in headers, but they were never implemented so far. To make it possible we need a signaling protocol like RTSP, which was planned a while ago but then postponed (hence these functions were mentioned in docs - I hoped to add them soon).

I still have plans for RTSP but don't have any estimate unfortunately. Related issues are #200 and #216. We merged mostly finished SDP support, but nobody started work on RTSP.

BTW, besides binding/connecting both ways, RTSP will also eliminate the need of 3 endpoints (source, repair, control) - it would be possible to use just one aggregate rtsp:// endpoint for everything, and it will automatically create low-level endpoints under the hood.

Hi @gavv

Sorry - my mistake. I think they were in some old headers but I didn't check the implementations.

It sounds like RTSP would be a nice way to go, but I see from #216 that there's a lot to be done!

Thanks
