Live555 Streaming Media
Description
Live555 is an open-source set of C++ libraries for multimedia streaming, supporting open standards such as RTP/RTCP, RTSP, and SIP. It is widely used for RTSP server and client implementations and provides a solid foundation for developing streaming applications that require support for these protocols. Note: the official site is served over plain HTTP — the host does not support HTTPS.
