[Live-devel] Adding streams to already-running event loop

No - although both of these demo applications happen to do this, it is not ‘required’.

You can create new “RTSPClient” objects and call operations on them (including “sendDescribeCommand()”) from within the event loop, at any time.  I.e., this could be done from code that’s called to handle an event.

Your next question is probably: How do I get the event loop to handle an event?  See http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/faq.html#other-kinds-of-event
