I would say go for it if it's something that interests you. That's the beauty of open source: you can do those things. Of course, the downside is any Python wrappers/bindings may go stale as Ross ( http://www.rossfinlayson.com/) continues to push live555 in his own direction. I don't want to discou

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 se

I was wondering too becasue, my first thought is keep it simple and work in the language the library supports. (Software engineering for me is "same stuff, differnt language") c/c++ is the best cross platform compiled language for me python is the best cross platform scripting language for me. Ha

I honestly think you're trying to put a square peg in a round hole here. If you're planning to use Live555, unless someone has any evidence to the contrary, I believe you should do everything in C++ and forgo trying to do anything in Python. On Sun, Feb 7, 2016 at 10:29 PM i...@interstrat.com wro

Ben. Thanks for your clarifications and guidance. More startup questions. For a video-streaming server side application, how would one make the call between C++ libraries and a Python environment ? Would the C++ libraries be called by Python ? C++ would be much faster of course. What would be b

I do not think you'll find much in the way of python support for Live555, if that's what you're asking. Otherwise you can look at other open source projects such as https://github.com/mhaller/pyffmpeg. Browsing the newsgroup has been the best documentation I've found, next to reading the source co
