[Live-devel] LIVE555 usage scenarios, live streaming

[Juan F. Herrera]

Hi. I want to try
LIVE555 for live streaming of college lectures (with custom mods), and I’m considering these scenarios, based on the
test programs:

I thought I could study from source and docs and modding the test programs, but at this point I'm
still shopping for engines, so I wanted to ask before going deeper in trial and error.
 
Help very much appreciated

Thanks

(On the other hand, if someone has an implementation, I would like to ask whether I could take a look at the code.)
