In c# is there possibility that rtsp video stream is used "System.net.httpwebrequest" if not plz tell me another alternative .
// the URL to download the file from
string basepath = #"rtsp://ip.worldonetv.com:1935/live/ ";
// the path to write the file to
// string sFilePathToWriteFileTo = "d:\\Download";
// first, we need to get the exact size (in bytes) of the file we are downloading
Uri url = new Uri(basepath);
System.Net.HttpWebRequest request = (System.Net.HttpWebRequest)System.Net.WebRequest.Create(url);
System.Net.HttpWebResponse response = (System.Net.HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
response.Close();
You can formulate RtspRequests with my library.
You can then base64 encode the RtspRequest and put that as the body to the HttpRequest.
Add the content-length header which would be equal to the length of the base64 encoded rtsp request in the body.
Add the header rtsp/x-tunneled to HttpRequest and then sent it along.
You should get back a HttpResponse with the body containing a base64 encoded RtspResponse.
Base64 decode the Body of the HttpResponse and then use the RtspResponse class in my library to parse it.
The library is # http://net7mma.codeplex.com/
And there is a codeproject article # http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/507218/Managed-Media-Aggregation-using-Rtsp-and-Rtp
If you need anything else let me know!
There's no standard C# library to do this. You can't even do it with the various .NET DirectShow wrappers. I just had a coworker spend a month on this problem and he ended up writing his own C# wrapper on GStreamer. If you're planning to display the video, the easiest option is to embed the VLC ActiveX control.

I'm downloading in image from web to save it locally. It works great with any other image formats but it this method below fails with an argument exception when I try to read a WebP image.
private static Image GetImage(string url)
{
try
{
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url);
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
return Image.FromStream(response.GetResponseStream());
}
catch
{
return null;
}
}
How do you read .webp images in C#?
I found this other question that allows for converting between types but I do not want to do that WebP library for C#
Reason I'm not wanting to do it is because I think it might lose some quality. Besides, I want to know why is this not working.
The base class libraries won't help you to deal with WebP images. However, if you only want to save the received file to the disk, you don't have to even know that you are dealing with a WebP images. You can simply treat the received data as a binary blob and dump it to a file, for example using Stream.CopyTo and a FileStream.
The Content-Type HTTP header will give you the mime type of the file you're downloading, and the Content-Disposition header can provide you with a filename and extension (though you might have to do some parsing). You can access those using HttpWebResponse.ContentType and HttpWebResponse.Headers["Content-Disposition"].
#Trillian nailed it. Here is a code snippet for what I did based on his suggestion. Wanted to add code so not posting this as a comment.
To get just the image file extension, you can do this
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url);
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
string fileExt = response.ContentType.Replace("image/", string.Empty);
To get the file name with extension, you can do the following and the do parsing like I did above. It just has some more data in it.
response.Headers["Content-Disposition"];
Once you have you file name you want to save as, create a file stream and copy the response stream into it.
FileStream fs = new FileStream(targetPath + fileName, FileMode.Create);
response.GetResponseStream().CopyTo(fs);
Assuming you app has access to the destination, image should get saved. Make sure to add try catch and handle exceptions properly. Also note that FileMode.Create will overwrite if the file already exists!
I am working on Universal Windows Applications, in my current project I used Unified Communications Web API (UCWA) to display the skype user status it's working fine but when I am trying to display the skype user photo at that time I got stuck.
I followed below link to display the photo
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/skype/ucwa/getmyphoto
I got response code of 200 OK for my GET request but I don't know how to display the image from my response.
Please tell me how to resolve it.
-Pradeep
I got Result, After getting HTTP Response then I am converting those response content to stream type by using this below line.
var presenceJsonStr = await httpResponseMessage.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync();
This is the code to display the image
var photo = await AuthenticationHelper.Photo();
// Create a .NET memory stream.
var memStream = new MemoryStream();
// Convert the stream to the memory stream, because a memory stream supports seeking.
await photo.CopyToAsync(memStream);
// Set the start position.
memStream.Position = 0;
// Create a new bitmap image.
var bitmap = new BitmapImage();
// Set the bitmap source to the stream, which is converted to a IRandomAccessStream.
bitmap.SetSource(memStream.AsRandomAccessStream());
// Set the image control source to the bitmap.
imagePreivew.ImageSource = bitmap;
Assuming you put an Accept header specifying an image type, you should be able to look at the Content-Length header to determine if the user has an image set on the server. If the length is zero you should consider providing a default image to be displayed. If not, I would suggest taking a look at Convert a Bitmapimage into a Byte Array and Vice Versa in UWP Platform as you should treat the response body as a byte array with its length defined by the Content-Length header.
If for some reason no Accept header was provided, the response body is not an image/* type, and looks like a string then you might be dealing with a Base64 encoded image. This case should be much less likely to deal with, but if you need advice I would suggest looking at Reading and Writing Base64 in the Windows Runtime.
You can directly use the URL generated for the user photo resource. Just set the URL of the image as the source of the Image container. You application would load it automatically.
Is there anything open source available for this?
or
Is there a way to parse a stream of bytes received from a POST request manually and convert the chunks of bytes to the appropriate data types?
I'm not sure if there is anything open source for this, but PHP does support the needed features out of the box.
the contents of a POST request can be retrieved as follows:
$data = file_get_contents("php://input");
// or to handle the data as a stream
$stream = fopen("php://input", "rb");
The above is the preferred method, as $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is deprecated.
The data can then be parsed using the PHP unpack() function.
I've recently started using the google translate API inside a c# project. I am trying to translate some text from english to french. I am having issues with some special characters though.
For example the word Company comes thru as Société instead of Société as it should. Is there some way in code I can convert these to the correct special characters? ie (é to é)
Thanks
If you need anymore info let me know.
I ran into this same exact issue. If you're using the WebClient class to download the json response from google, try setting the Encoding property to UTF8.
using(var webClient = new WebClient { Encoding = Encoding.UTF8 })
{
string json = webClient.DownloadString(someUri);
...
}
I have reproduced your problem, and it looks like you are using the UTF7 encoding. UTF8 is the way you need to go.
I use Google's API by creating a WebRequest to get an HTTP response from the server, then I read the response stream with a StreamReader. StreamReader defaults to UTF8, but to reproduce your problem, I passed Encoding.UTF7 into the StreamReader's constructor.
I have to interface with a slightly archaic system that doesn't use webservices. In order to send data to this system, I need to post an XML document into a form on the other system's website. This XML document can get very large so I would like to compress it.
The other system sits on IIS and I use C# my end. I could of course implement something that compresses the data before posting it, but that requires the other system to change so it can decompress the data. I would like to avoid changing the other system as I don't own it.
I have heard vague things about enabling compression / http 1.1 in IIS and the browser but I have no idea how to translate that to my program. Basically, is there some property I can set in my program that will make my program automatically compress the data that it is sending to IIS and for IIS to seamlessly decompress it so the receiving app doesn't even know the difference?
Here is some sample code to show roughly what I am doing;
private static void demo()
{
Stream myRequestStream = null;
Stream myResponseStream = null;
HttpWebRequest myWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)System.Net
.WebRequest.Create("http://example.com");
byte[] bytMessage = null;
bytMessage = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("data=xyz");
myWebRequest.ContentLength = bytMessage.Length;
myWebRequest.Method = "POST";
// Set the content type as form so that the data
// will be posted as form
myWebRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
//Get Stream object
myRequestStream = myWebRequest.GetRequestStream();
//Writes a sequence of bytes to the current stream
myRequestStream.Write(bytMessage, 0, bytMessage.Length);
//Close stream
myRequestStream.Close();
WebResponse myWebResponse = myWebRequest.GetResponse();
myResponseStream = myWebResponse.GetResponseStream();
}
"data=xyz" will actually be "data=[a several MB XML document]".
I am aware that this question may ultimately fall under the non-programming banner if this is achievable through non-programmatic means so apologies in advance.
I see no way to compress the data on one side and receiving them uncompressed on the other side without actively uncompressing the data..
No idea if this will work since all of the examples I could find were for download, but you could try using gzip to compress the data, then set the Content-Encoding header on the outgoing message to gzip. I believe that the Length should be the length of the zipped message, although you may want to play with making it the length of the unencoded message if that doesn't work.
Good luck.
EDIT I think the issue is whether the ISAPI filter that supports compression is ever/always/configurably invoked on upload. I couldn't find an answer to that so I suspect that the answer is never, but you won't know until you try (or find the answer that eluded me).
