[Live-devel] General tips would be appreciated

[Aleksandar Milenkovic]

Hi all. I didn't really know how to name this, hope nobody minds....

Anyway, i'm getting into live555 code. I compiled the whole thing as a 
library, ported the mediaServer to android and now comes the interesting 
part.

A Java app sends a byte[] thru JNI to a C routine. The C part should 
have the mediaserver embedded into it, and in such a way that the 
mediaserver can be controlled just like a real object (i know this 
doesn't make sense yet, but it will). That means the server should 
behave like 'expected' upon calling the wrapper's Init(), Start/Stop(), 
Deinit()...

So far I've got some slight understanding of the UsageEnvironment 
classes, but i'm having slight problems on how to break it up. I could 
use an explanation of what it does etc, a background story. So far, 
env->doEventLoop(shouldIQuit); will do the trick i hope.

On top of that, i wanna use the passed-in byte[] for streaming, not 
files. I found this - ByteStreamMemoryBufferSource, so i'll try to dump 
the byte[] into that and feed that to the mediaServer;

Basically, I'm not-so-politely asking how to break up the Media Server 
app into pieces; this approach sounds feasable but might be impractical 
or there might be better ways to accomplish this. That's why i'm asking 
you if you've got any tips for the new guy here :)

I'd like to avoid reimplementing UsageEnvironments and TaskSchedulers if 
possible, and only delete/move the code around :)

Kind regards,
Aleksandar
