live555是使用十分广泛的开源流媒体服务器，之前也看过其他人写的live555的学习笔记，在这里自己简单总结下。
live555源代码有以下几个明显的特点：
1.头文件是.hh后缀的，但没觉得和.h后缀的有什么不同
2.采用了面向对象的程序设计思路，里面各种对象
好了，不罗嗦，使用vc2010打开live555的vc工程，看到live555源代码结构如下：
源代码由5个工程构成（4个库和一个主程序）：
libUsageEnvironment.lib；libliveMedia.lib；libgroupsock.lib；libBasicUsageEnvironment.lib；以及live555MediaServer
这里我们只分析live555MediaServer这个主程序，其实代码量并不大，主要有两个CPP：DynamicRTSPServer.cpp和live555MediaServer.cpp
程序的main()在live555MediaServer.cpp中，在main()中调用了DynamicRTSPServer中的类
不废话，直接贴上有注释的源码
live555MediaServer.cpp：
#include <BasicUsageEnvironment.hh>
#include "DynamicRTSPServer.hh"
#include "version.hh"
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
// Begin by setting up our usage environment:
// TaskScheduler用于任务计划
TaskScheduler* scheduler = BasicTaskScheduler::createNew();
// UsageEnvironment用于输出
UsageEnvironment* env = BasicUsageEnvironment::createNew(*scheduler);
UserAuthenticationDatabase* authDB = NULL;
#ifdef ACCESS_CONTROL
// To implement client access control to the RTSP server, do the following:
authDB = new UserAuthenticationDatabase;
authDB->addUserRecord("username1", "password1"); // replace these with real strings
// Repeat the above with each <username>, <password> that you wish to allow
// access to the server.
#endif
//建立 RTSP server. 使用默认端口 (554),
// and then with the alternative port number (8554):
RTSPServer* rtspServer;
portNumBits rtspServerPortNum = 554;
//创建 RTSPServer实例
rtspServer = DynamicRTSPServer::createNew(*env, rtspServerPortNum, authDB);
if (rtspServer == NULL) {
rtspServerPortNum = 8554;
rtspServer = DynamicRTSPServer::createNew(*env, rtspServerPortNum, authDB);
}

// Also, attempt to create a HTTP server for RTSP-over-HTTP tunneling.
// Try first with the default HTTP port (80), and then with the alternative HTTP
// port numbers (8000 and 8080).
if (rtspServer->setUpTunnelingOverHTTP(80) || rtspServer->setUpTunnelingOverHTTP(8000) || rtspServer->setUpTunnelingOverHTTP(8080)) {
*env << "(We use port " << rtspServer->httpServerPortNum() << " for optional RTSP-over-HTTP tunneling.)\n";
} else {
*env << "(RTSP-over-HTTP tunneling is not available.)\n";
}
//进入一个永久的循环
env->taskScheduler().doEventLoop(); // does not return
return 0; // only to prevent compiler warning
