Build Instructions

./genMakefiles linux
make -j4

Replace "linux" with your platform, e.g. avr32-linux, cygwin, freebsd, iphoneos, linux, linux-64bit, macosx, openbsd, solaris-64bit, etc (see config.PLATFORM files)

You will find various executables:

• ./testProgs - contain various programs such as testRTSPClient to receive an RTSP stream
• ./proxyServer/live555ProxyServer - a great RTSP proxy server
• ./mediaServer/live555MediaServer - an RTSP media server for serving static files over RTSP

Changes to Master

Buffer sizes

OutPacketBuffer::maxSize is increased to 2,000,000 bytes which makes live555 work better with buggy IP cameras.

Force port re-use

Added -DALLOW_RTSP_SERVER_PORT_REUSE=1 to force reusing existing port (e.g. when restarting the proxy). Please ensure you never run multiple instances of the proxy on the same port!

Quit on TCP Errors

liveMedia/RTCP.cpp#431 changed break to exit(1); - this ensures that live555 does not flood the screen and/or log with: The remote endpoint is using a buggy implementation of RTP/RTCP-over-TCP. Please upgrade it!

Add -d option

See Proxyserver_check_interPacketGap_2017.01.26.patch - This allows specifying a number of seconds of inactivity before timing out the connection.
