gst-rtsp-server RTSP ANNOUNCE

[Nirbheek Chauhan]

Hi Alan,

As far as I know, the architecture of gst-rtsp-server prevents this.
You can either use gst-rtsp-server to serve that file and figure out
how to get looping to work there, or you can try to use another rtsp
server like https://github.com/sdroege/rtsp-server.

Cheers,
Nirbheek
