Build Instructions

For example:

./genMakefiles linux
make -j4

Replace "linux" with your platform, e.g. avr32-linux, cygwin, freebsd, iphoneos, linux, linux-64bit, macosx, openbsd, solaris-64bit, etc (see config.PLATFORM files)

You will find various executables:

• ./testProgs - contain various programs such as testRTSPClient to receive an RTSP stream
• ./proxyServer/live555ProxyServer - a great RTSP proxy server
• ./mediaServer/live555MediaServer - an RTSP media server for serving static files over RTSP

Changes to Master

Buffer sizes

increaseReceiveBufferTo is increased to 2,000,000 bytes (same as VLC default) and OutPacketBuffer::maxSize is increased 5 fold to 500000 in the ProxyServer. These 2 changes make live555 work a hell of a lot better out of box.

-p option for proxyServer - allows specifying a listening port on the command line

This was rejected from the mailing list, but often RTSPProxy fails to run on more than a few cameras with bad corruption, frames seeking back and forth and many other adverse side effects. Being able to run multiple instances listening on different ports is crucial.
