Hi Ross,
First of all, thank you for your quick responses!

Well, for now it's not a media file like live555 stream usually, but a
collection of media files (images, informations about those images, etc.) I
receive in a buffer, with packet headers to delimit them.
I understand live555 is used to stream audio or video files. But I have to
stream JPEG too.
So, my payload format is not a standard one for my buffer, but my questions
are not are not about this. I managed to run the MP3 example, all works.

I think I have to create my own classes for a RTP sink "myBufferSink", a RTP
source "myBufferRTPsource" and a data source "myBufferSource". I understand
well RTPSource and Sinkclasses, but I've got some difficulties with the
Source classes (udp, fileSource, etc.). Depending on the source, it takes
the next frame in it. But if my buffer has the good size for a RTP packet,
do I need to implement myBufferSource class?

I just have another question about jpeg streaming: is there an example like
testMP3? Or do I have to make my own? Is there special difficulties with
this streaming example? Is it because testJPEG is similar to another built
example there's no JPEG test?

Thanks for your response, and sorry if I didn't write you back earlier.
Best regards,
