Best way to save streaming video so that I can seek through it locally?

[Kevin Boos]

Hi Arjen,

Thanks for the advice. I have actually previously looked at RTSP and thought it might work, but it is not as flexible as I need. I really need a way to cache the incoming video stream on the client so that seek operations are purely local, instead of relying on asking the server to seek remotely. (due to latency and timing reasons.)

Is there a way to make my current setup better, while still using something like tcpserversink and tcpclientsrc?

Thanks again,
Kevin
