Lately I found myself hunting down and evaluating various RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) library implementations, for my work. At first I evaluated LiveMedia from
www.live555.com, an open-source library for linux/windows. I have a bad first impression from it for the following reasons:
- no documentation
- no comments
- inconsistent interface (const / non-const functions, public data memebers)
Rafting on the googly, murky waters of the internet has led to the following leads, which I will further investigate in future posts:

open source RTSP implementation. AFAIK development ceased in 2001
https://live.polito.it/
open source streaming library, which contains RTSP.
highly geared towards linux: uses git for SCM and autotools for makefile generation

Open source client, server, player projects. affiliated with realnetworks.
Has dual licensing for commercial applications, similar to QT.
