Live Media Streamer

liveMediaStreamer

If you installed ffmpeg or live555 on custom directories, you can add --with-ffmpeg and --with-livemedia respectively to the ./autogen.sh call in order to set the paths where livemediastreamer build will look for them.

git clone https://github.com/ua-i2cat/livemediastreamer.git
cd livemediastreamer
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install
