At some point I plan to "open source" large parts of this (including the "liveMedia" classes from which both "liveCaster" and "playRTPMPEG" are built), but not right away: - This stuff is still incomplete (e.g., RTCP still needs to be added); - Massaging the source tree into a form appropriate for general use would take some time (that I don't have right now); - I'd need to set up the appropriate legal framework for this - in particular, to ensure that divergent, non-interoperable versions don't end up spreading around the Internet. (For networking software - and in particular multicast software - interoperability at the protocol level should be the #1 priority, with the benefits of source-code commonality coming later.) (My immediate focus these days is finding a way to make any living at all from this stuff... :( >I'd like to try it out on Alpha, too). If I could get a guest account on an Alpha box, I'd be happy to (try to) build a version of "playRTPMPEG" (and "liveCaster", and "multikit", and "liveGate"...) for Alpha. (BTW, this is Ultrix/Alpha you're talking about, right? As for WinNT/Alpha, it's possible that the Windoze version of this software will already run on such a system (via x86 emulation), although I don't know if anyone's tried this yet.) Ross.
