LIVE.COM Streaming Media
Version:
1.0 (October 2000)
Description:
The C++ source code that forms the basis of the "liveCaster" (& "playRTPMPEG") media streaming tools is now available as "open source" (released under the LGPL). This code forms a set of libraries that can be used within RTP/RTCP streaming applications, or can be extended to support additional media types and codecs (in addition to MP3 audio). The distribution includes code for building two demo applications: a server that reads a MP3 file and streams it (using RTP/RTCP), and a client that reads from the same RTP/RTCP stream, and outputs the resulting MP3 stream to stdout. These libraries can be built and run on Unix (various flavors) and Windows. These libraries are similar to existing toolkits such as "Open Mash", although - for now, at least - not nearly as rich in functionality. Also, they do not require the use of a specific scripting language - or any scripting language at all. (However, the libraries can, and have, been used with scripting languages - e.g., "liveCaster" and "playRTPMPEG" were built using these libraries in combination with Tcl.)
