Unfortunately, this software is not intended for "newbie programmers".

Yes.  This should be a subclass of "OnDemandServerMediaSubsession", 
and must set the "reuseFirstSource" parameter to True (because you 
want to use the same input source for all downstream clients).

>-create RTSPServer and add my new subsession class

Yes.

>-create H264RTPSource

No!  "RTPSource"s are used only for RTP *receivers* (i.e., clients). 
You are writing a server, not a client.

Instead, you need to write your own subclass of 
"H264VideoStreamFramer" (to encapsulate your input source, to deliver 
H.264 NAL units).

>-create H264RTPSink to handle the streaming itself

Yes.
