> As I understand it (see parallel conversation) the other threads need to post in event callback requests using TriggerEvent() (which is the single exception to the same-thread rule) so the event loop calls our handler from the live555 thread.

Yes, or if you have some other thread-safe asynchronous messaging mechanism that you'd prefer to use instead, you could use that.


> The additional wrinkle is that Ross recommends we share the UsageEnvironment and TaskScheduler across multiple RTSP streams, although a middle way could be to keep an independent 'env' and 'scheduler' for each demux as we do now.

Yes, if you wish, you could have separate (non-interacting) LIVE555 threads (each with their own “UsageEnvironment” and “TaskScheduler” objects) for each RTSP stream.  I just wanted to make it clear that it’s not necessary to do that; instead, a single LIVE555 event loop thread is sufficient.
