RTMP Streaming

edit

Hello,

I want to be able to create an application that can read and publish an RTMP stream.

Using OpenCV i could read rtp due to it's ffmpeg backend.

C++ RTMP is another possibility, but this is an RTMP server so it mainly requests and sends files. Although open source, i am unsure how to build or integrate this into a Visual Studio application in such a way as to make the function calls available to my project.

OTher sources indicate that OpenCV's RTSP isn't great.

1) How can you run a streaming server, such as RTMP C++ and get the raw data out. OpenCV can encode and decode image data for streaming, but how can you link the two?

2) Could a C++ application pipe a stream together? How could i interface with that stream to send it more images? Also, for receiving images?

I have sound an RTSP solution, but C++ RTMP works with many more stream types.
