Creating a Media Server Using the ltmsServer Object

1.

Set up a folder containing the source media files.

3.

Create an instance of the ltmsServer Object, acquiring the IltmsServer Interface. All properties are set to default values.

5.

(Optional) Set up the server configuration by calling IltmsServer::ImportConfigFile, IltmsServer::ImportConfigString, or setting the ltmsServer properties individually.

7.

(Optional) Add Live Server sources. A new live source can be added by using the following steps for each:

• Get the list of current live sources in the server by calling IltmsServer::GetLiveStreams
• Create a new live stream through IltmsLiveStreams::CreateLiveStream
• Get the device configuration for the newly created stream by calling IltmsLiveStream::get_DeviceConfig
• Lock the available devices to prevent modifications while setting up the new stream by calling IltmsLiveStreamDevConfig::LockDevices
• Set the server URL to access the stream via IltmsLiveStream::put_Path
• Get the list of audio or video devices through IltmsLiveStream::get_AudioDevices and/or IltmsLiveStream::get_VideoDevices respectively and set the preferred input.
• (Optional) Set additional properties such as the audio type, video size, video frame rate, or whether to use hardware compression. For more information, see IltmsLiveStream.
• Add the new configuration to the existing list of streams through IltmsLiveStreams::AddLiveStream
• Update the server configuration with the list of live streams by calling IltmsServer::SetLiveStreams
• Release the available devices by calling IltmsLiveStreamDevConfig::UnlockDevices

9.

Call IltmsServer::Stop when finished.
