V2_STREAMING_METHOD
Description
Get or Set the method of video/audio streaming on the encoder.
There are numbers of streaming methods the encoder to stream the video and audio data. These method might vary among different devices in different platform.
In WPL, EPL and Multi-Channel Encoders, only one method is allowed to be available. That means the streaming connection between encoder and remote host will be closed if the streaming method is changed.
In PlatformT Encoders, all unicast streaming methods could exist at the same time. Therefore, the remote host does not need to set the encoder's streaming method before it gets the unicast video stream. However, the device could accept any one of settings and return its setting for read command. For multicast streaming, Multicast Over UDP, RTP Over Multicast and RTP Over UDP and Multicast, this URL is needed to switch the streaming mode to service the video streaming.
If the CHANNEL=n was not set with this URL to the Multi-Channel device, this command is read-only command and the CHANNEL 1 video server's V2_STREAMING_METHOD configuration will be returned. If the CHANNEL 1 video server does not connect to the router, the error message will be returned.
Here is the list of the available streaming method vs encoder in different platforms.
