Thanks Jeff and Ben. Given that the live555 will be the core library for the video streaming server would it make sense therefore to prototype in Python and transfer to C++ when reasonably clean. Perhaps Boost Python would help with this ? Are there good resources for a Python video streaming server using C++ libraries ? For the live555 development community could this not add more hands on the job if there is a clear path to use Python as well ? Here is a pioneer in a very simple application http://blog.mikemccandless.com/2013/11/pulling-h264-video-from-ip-camera-using.html <http://blog.mikemccandless.com/2013/11/pulling-h264-video-from-ip-camera-using.html>
