[Live-devel] [PATCH] Added command line option to live555MediaServer to specify port

[Mark Liggett]

Hi everyone,

I've added some code into live555MediaServer.cpp to allow the user to specify a command line argument stating which port to use for the server.    This change allows multiple (more than 2) live555MediaServers to be started on a given host and means they can also be started using a script. If no port is specified I've set the server to start on port 8554.  This is perhaps not everybody's default but suits our environment.

Kind regards,
