[Live-devel] controlling the rtsp negotiation with custom event loop

[Ross Finlayson]

That’s fine.  However, if you want to use the LIVE555 code to implement RTSP/RTP/RTCP, then the processing (and “select()” calls, etc.) needs to be done within the LIVE555 event loop.  (If you have other sockets that do other things, unrelated to LIVE555 code, then you can do whatever you want with those; however, LIVE555 code needs to be run within the LIVE555 event loop (by definition).)

Translation: "I’m too lazy to try and use the LIVE555 code in the way in which it was intended, so I’m going to ‘jury rig’ my application my own way, but still plan on using the LIVE555 mailing list (with its thousands of members) to try to get free advice”.  Sorry, but that’s not going to happen.  Goodbye.
