First, you should ask yourself if “openRTSP” is really the best code for you to be working from; see

Basically, you’d want to execute the code that’s in the “shutdown()” function; see line 1383 of “testProgs/playCommon.cpp”

And because the application - like all LIVE555-based applications - runs using an event loop, you would need to find a way to trigger and handle a ’shutdown’  event.  One possible way to do this is noted here:

Another possible way is described here:

I don’t understand this question.  “testRTSPClient” already builds - from the Makefiles - as a standalone, console application, just like “openRTSP”.

Our demo applications are console applications.  If you want instead to build applications that use a GUI, then, of course, you can do this, but you are assumed to already know how to develop GUI-based applications.
