how to create a RTSP streaming server

Question

So I am trying to create a RTSP server that streams music.
I do not understand how the server plays a music and different requests get what ever is playing at that time.

Answer 1

First: READ THIS (RTSP), and THEN READ THIS (SDP), and then READ THIS (RTP). Then you can ask more sensible questions.

1) It doesn't, server streams little parts of the audio data to the client, telling it when each part is to be played.

2) There is no such request. If you want, you can have URL for live streaming, and in RTSP DESCRIBE request, tell the client what is currently on.

3) Read the first (RTSP) document, all is there! Answer to your question is this:

RTSP/1.0 200 OK
CSeq: 3
Session: 123456
Range: npt=now-
RTP-Info: url=trackID=1;seq=987654

But to get the music playing you will have to do a lot more to initiate a streaming session.
