[Live-devel] Broadcasting live events with an iPhone using Live555 media libraries

[Ross Finlayson]

> The architecture we are building is based on an Helix Media Server that will be used to broadcast the stream to PCs, phones, ...

Yes, you probably are, provided that the protocol that the "Helix Media Server" uses to receive incoming data is the same protocol (or at least a similar protocol) as the one that's used by the "Darwin Streaming Server".

Personally, I dislike the idea of clients 'pushing' data into servers (see <http://lists.live555.com/pipermail/live-devel/2011-August/013783.html> and <http://lists.live555.com/pipermail/live-devel/2011-August/013785.html>), but I recognize that there are legacy servers out there that support that model.
