UP J2L on Video Streaming

LIVE.COM Streaming Media

from http://live.sourceforge.net/

This code forms a set of C++ libraries for multimedia streaming, using open standard protocols (RTP/RTCP and RTSP). These libraries - which can be compiled for Unix (including Linux and Mac OS X), Windows, and QNX (and other POSIX-compliant systems) - can be used to build streaming applications. The libraries are already being used to implement applications such as "liveCaster" and "playRTPMPEG" (for streaming MP3 audio using RTP/RTCP). The libraries can also be used to stream, receive, and process MPEG video, and can easily be extended to support additional (audio and/or video) codecs. They can also be used to build basic RTSP clients and servers, and have been used to add streaming support to existing media player applications, such as "mplayer". (For some specific examples of how these libraries can be used, see the test programs.)

This code is "open source", and is released under the LGPL. This allows you to use these libraries (via linking) inside closed-source products. It also allows you to make closed-source binary extensions to these libraries - for instance, to support proprietary media codecs that subclass the existing "liveMedia" class hierarchy. Nonetheless, we hope that subclass extensions of these libraries will also be developed under the LGPL, and contributed for inclusion here. We encourage developers to contribute to the development and enhancement of these libraries.

The project source files, and additional documentation, are online at http://www.live.com/liveMedia.
