[Live-devel] Support required for Live555 Media Server

[Ross Finlayson]

> 1.      We have installed the Live555 Media Server on Red Hat Linux version 6.2 system. The Processor is Intel Pentium Dual core running at 2.6 GHz with 2GB DDR2 RAM
> We run multiple instances of OpenRTSP client program / VLC player application on 34 client systems and used the RTSP Server to stream to 34 clients. In this scenario
> The CPU utilization of our Live555 RTSP Server has reached approximately 92% for streaming. Beyond this, the RTSP stream in the first client system starts to freeze and play
> Is it true that each instance of streaming will take this much CPU resources?

I suspect that you're hitting (or running close to hitting) an operating system limit for the number of possible open sockets (see also <http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/faq.html#scalability>).  You may wish to increase this limit, if you can.


> 2.      Is it possible to run two instances of Live555 Media Server application in the same Server simultaneously?

Yes, by having each instance use a different RTSP port number.


> 3.      Is it possible for us to make the Live555 Media Server to assign the IP address of our wish. Example: There are two NIC ( Network Interface Card )in the system,
> onboard as well as PCI card based NIC. Is it possible to make the Live555 Media server to take the PCI based NIC IP Address instead of onboard NIC IP Address.?

Yes.  The easiest way to ensure that one particular interface is chosen is to make that interface the one for which multicast routing is enabled - i.e., the interface that has a route for 224.0.0.0/4
