Arjav,

The “LIVE555 Media Server” was intended to be a stand-alone ‘appliance’ application that performs just one particular function (streaming from named files - one at a time), and was not intended to be modified.

However, you can, instead, use the “testOnDemandRTSPServer” demo application as a starting point.  It is easy to modify this to take input from a different input source (other than a file).
