Also, sorry for all the replies, but I feel like I should mention too that I am running the latest version that I downloaded from the site yesterday.

First, the proper online documentation for our software is at <http://live555.com/>; not some random 3rd-party Q&A site. In particular, the “LIVE555 Media Server” is documented at http://live555.com/mediaServer/ so that’s the first place you should go. If you’re building the server from source code, it’s important to make sure that you’re running the most up-to-date version of the code; see http://live555.com/liveMedia/faq.html#latest-version Note, in particular, that the LIVE555 software that comes distributed with many Linux ‘distributions’ (e.g., Ubuntu) is often very out-of-date, and should not be used. Instead, the “LIVE555 Streaming Media” software should be downloaded from our web site. We do not support old versions of the software. > Do I have to stream it somehow through Zoneminder (what I’m using to record > the cameras to store video on my hard drive) or can I just configure the > local camera IP so that it takes the stream from there to broadcast through > live555? Your question wasn’t very clear; are you asking how the “LIVE555 Media Server” can take input from a live media stream - rather than from pre-recorded media files? The answer to that question is: It can’t. The “LIVE555 Media Server” is a single application that was designed for one specific service: Streaming (via RTSP/RTP) from pre-recorded media files. If, instead, you want a RTSP server that takes input from a live media stream (e.g., from a network camera), then your starting point should instead be the “testOnDemandRTSPServer” demo application - which comes (as source code) with our software, in the “testProgs” directory; see <http://live555.com/liveMedia/#testProgs> For details on how to modify the “testOnDemandRTSPServer” application to take input from a live media stream, see http://live555.com/liveMedia/faq.html#liveInput-unicast Ross Finlayson Live Networks, Inc. http://www.live555.com/ _______________________________________________ live-devel mailing list live-devel@lists.live555.com http://lists.live555.com/mailman/listinfo/live-devel _______________________________________________ live-devel mailing list live-devel@lists.live555.com http://lists.live555.com/mailman/listinfo/live-devel
