I'm guessing video frames given ffmpeg was part of the story.

You only use the Real Time Protocol (RTP) when you need time sensitive data streaming (typically audio or video)

I was curious about that to. Lots of references to video related standards that imply its a PoE camera, but then why isn't the data encoded in the usual ways? What does that mean?

What codec would you use for a camera that captures not RGB, but poetry of the soul?

CONTEXTLESS, HEADERLESS, ENDLESS BYTE STREAMS OF COURSE, where the literal, idealized (remember udp) position of each byte is part of a vector in a non euclidean coordinate system.

I would love to read a collaborative work between you and James Mickens -- this genre of writing seems sadly under-present in the computing world...

I appreciate the interest in listening to a simulcast of Harvard-Professor-Collaborates-With-A-Nobody-Hobo. I'll forward this to my agent.

My agent is a tin can. I think she used to hold beans. Sometimes I put a few smashed nickels in her and rattle. While I do this, I pretend she's reading me my messages, and I'm like "oh no, I would never consent to a biopic directed by THAT charlatan." and then we laugh and laugh.

Oh how we laugh.
