[Live-devel] How to dispatch media data to multiple sinks?

[Ross Finlayson]

No, unfortunately there's no general 'frame duplicator' mechanism in our library.

Yes, the simplest thing to do here would be to write your own filter class (a subclass of "FramedFilter") that copies input frames to the output, but also writes them to a file.  The "writing to a file" would be done directly (i.e., using "fwrite()"), rather than using a "FileSink").

The simplest way to do this is just to use multicast.  I.e., send the frames out just once (using a single "RTPSink" object, but do so using an IP multicast address).  (E.g., our "testRelay" demo application does something like this.)
