RTSP(Real Time Streaming Protocol)实时流媒体协议： RFC 2326

The Real Time Streaming Protocol, or RTSP, is an application-level protocol for control over the delivery of data with real-time properties. RTSP provides an extensible framework to  enable controlled, on-demand delivery of real-time data, such as audio and video. Sources of data can include both live data feeds and stored clips. This protocol is intended to control multiple data delivery sessions, provide a means for choosing delivery channels such as UDP, multicast UDP and TCP, and provide a means for choosing delivery mechanisms based upon RTP (RFC 1889).

Live555是一个完整的RTSP服务器应用程序。

This code forms a set of C++ libraries for multimedia streaming, using open standard protocols (RTP/RTCP, RTSP, SIP). These libraries - which can be compiled for Unix (including Linux and Mac OS X), Windows, and QNX (and other POSIX-compliant systems) - can be used to build streaming applications. The libraries are already being used to implement applications such as the "LIVE555 Media Server" and "LIVE555 Proxy Server" (RTSP server applications), and "vobStreamer" (for streaming DVD content using RTP/RTCP/RTSP). The libraries can also be used to stream, receive, and process MPEG, H.265, H.264, H.263+, DV or JPEG video, and several audio codecs. They can easily be extended to support additional (audio and/or video) codecs, and can also be used to build basic RTSP or SIP clients and servers, and have been used to add streaming support to existing media player applications, such as "VLC" and "MPlayer". (For some specific examples of how these libraries can be used, see the test programs below.)

Q.Windows下如何编译Live555？

Live555发布的代码中没有提供vs solution工程，但是通过nmake编译还是比较方便的，几乎不费周折。

具体的可以参考： http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/#config-windows

打开genWindowsMakefile.cmd文件， 可以看出此bat脚本还是比较简单的，只是根据各目录中的Makefile.head, Makefile.tail以及win32config文件生成.mak文件。

查看一下win32config文件

其中的两项需要做修改：

第一项是：

TOOLS32	=		C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC

LINK_OPTS_0 =		$(linkdebug) msvcrt.lib

为了方便，不妨写一bat脚本：

call "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"
cd liveMedia
nmake /B -f liveMedia.mak
cd ../groupsock
nmake /B -f groupsock.mak
cd ../UsageEnvironment
nmake /B -f UsageEnvironment.mak
cd ../BasicUsageEnvironment
nmake /B -f BasicUsageEnvironment.mak
cd ../testProgs
nmake /B -f testProgs.mak
cd ../mediaServer
nmake /B -f mediaServer.mak

然而，没有solution工程，分析代码确实不太舒服。为了长久打算本人新建了一份solution工程，结构为：

live

vs2008_live555

│  clean.bat
│  vs2008_live555.sln
│
├─BasicUsageEnvironment
│      BasicUsageEnvironment.vcproj
│
├─Groupsock
│      Groupsock.vcproj
│
├─liveMedia
│      LiveMedia.vcproj
│
├─MediaServer
│      MediaServer.vcproj
│
├─ProxyServer
│      ProxyServer.vcproj
│
└─UsageEnvironment
        UsageEnvironment.vcproj

其中， live目录是代码所在的目录。目录意义请参考：http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/。

为了省去诸君的麻烦，本人把整个工程上传了一份。请猛击。

至于如何测试RTSP Server，可以参考，http://www.cnblogs.com/skyseraph/archive/2012/04/11/2442840.html及
