how to use MsgCtrl

[wangpeng1]

Hi， i used the project and streampack，it used the MsgCtrl when thranslate live streaming。
but i donot want use send method,i want to use srtSocket.getInputStream(null) and srtSocket.getOutputStream(null), I have a lot of confusion and need your help：

1. I used the live mode by rtmp over srt, whether the MsgCtrl parameter of getInputStream or getOutputStream can be passed empty？
2. I used the live mode by mpegts over srt, whether each package must accurately transmit the MsgCtrl package information ？

Hi,

Both getInputStream and getOutputStream support a null MsgCtrl. If MsgCtrl shoud be set or not depends on what you want to achieve.

If you have questions about MsgCtrl, you should have a look on the SRT structure: https://github.com/Haivision/srt/blob/master/docs/API/API-functions.md#SRT_MSGCTRL

In a general way, if you have specific question for the usage of SRT, you should refer to SRT documentation. This project is only a wrapper around SRT and does not bring anything else. Moreover, in srtdroid API guide, there is often a link to the SRT function/structure behind.
