looking for motion JPEG over RTP over UDP streaming server.

Hello,

I'm looking for an Motion JPEG over RTP over UDP streaming server
(RFC2435). Can LiveStreamigServer support this? Any help on setup the
server and client is appreciated.

No, the "LIVE555 Media Server" product (i.e., pre-built binary application) cannot stream motion JPEG.

However, our RTSP server implementation *can* be used - with some additional programming - to stream motion JPEG. However, this is discouraged, because JPEG is a very poor codec for video streaming. See http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/faq.html#jpeg-streaming

streaming. See http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/faq.html#jpeg-streaming

Thanks for reminding. The application runs in embedded device over LAN and
motion JPEG is suitable for its low codec cost. It is preferred not to
support TCP if possible. So I'm wondering in its simplest form, will it
work if I only implement an RTP streaming server (2435) without RTSP? Kind
like RTP push streamer. Let's suppose server knows the client address/port
and it uses fixed profile.

The two links in the FAQ entry that I showed you should give you the information that you need. In fact, I recommend that you read the entire FAQ.
