You can do this very easily - using the existing "testMPEG2TransportStreamer"
code as a model.
For each multicast address that you want to send to, you:
1/ create two "Groupsock" objects - one for RTP, the other for RTCP.
(The port number for RTP should be even; the next higher (i.e., odd) port
number should be for RTCP.)
2/ create a new "SimpleRTPSink" object from the RTP "Groupsock"
3/ create a new "RTCPInstance" object from the RTCP "Groupsock"
4/ create a new "ByteStreamFileSource" object (for the file that you
want to read from)
5/ create a new "MPEG2TransportStreamFramer" object (for the
"ByteStreamFileSource" object that you created in step 4/)
6/ call "startPlaying()" on the "SimpleRTPSink" object that you created
in step 4/, taking, as parameter, the "MPEG2TransportStreamFramer" object that
you created in step 5/
I.e., you do steps 1/ through 6/ for each file+multicast address that you want
to stream.
Then (and only then), once you've done all this, you call
env->taskScheduler().doEventLoop();
to enter the application's 'event loop' (which is where the actual streaming
gets done).
