How to start implementing a video streaming server in c / C ++?

In my project, I need a dedicated server that sends streams to multiple clients.

More specifically, I have a callback function that is called to collect stream data, but does not know how to pass it to other applications.

What is the best way to start with this?

What video do you plan to transfer?

There is an open source library called liveMedia, available at http://www.live555.com . This C ++ library is available under LGPL and implements RTSP, RTP / RTCP and payload formats for different types of media. There is a class called DeviceSource IIRC that makes it easy to get data in the library. There is an active mailing list, and you can find a lot of information by searching the archives.

There are also a bunch of sample test projects that illustrate how to transfer mpeg, mp3, etc.

If you decide to use standardized protocols, you can read RTP and RTSP .

I think you should check the connection through network sockets.

There is no network concept in C ++, so you need to rely on your system API or libraries (e.g. boost.asio)
