XPMobile Server Experimental samples have been removed?

I just noticed that XPMobile Server Experimental samples have been removed in the latest 2020 R1 release. We are currently using one of these experimental features to retrieve the camera’s stream in a H264 stream instead of a motion jpeg stream (XPMobileSDK.library.VideoConnectionStream.H264inFMP4).

Not being able to retrieve the stream in H264 is a major issue since we have multiple users using our system to view many different cameras live, and not being able to retrieve the stream in H264 means the Milestone Server will need to transcode frames. I expect the server to have trouble keeping up during peak usage.

Are you also planning to remove this feature in a future release? Will there be any alternatives to retrieve the stream in H264 so the server does not have to transcode frames from streams on XPMobileSDK?

Hi Daniel,

This feature is still under development. You can continue using Mobile Server 2019R3 with the integration you have.

You will definitely see streaming in future releases in a bit different format and not part of experimental folder.

Of course there will be samples showing how to get H264 streams from MIP SDK Mobile.

Thank you very much for your answer Stoyan. I hope we will see a working way to retrieve H264 streams for the Mobile Server in a near future. Have a great one!
