What Happened to the Original Live.com?

What happened to the original Live.com site? No, not Microsoft’s Live.com site. Long ago there was a different site on the Live.com domain.

So what does that have with making Internet TV?

Live.com once belonged to a group of developers who created Free and Open Source software for all sorts of goodies that Internet TV producers could find very very useful.

They created software for streaming video and audio back when doing this was extremely cutting edge.

I found out later that the old Live.com moved to Live555.com (after, I can only guess, Microsoft bought the Live.com domain from them). (The sites a bit dated, but the software is still good.)

If you’re looking build an Internet TV system that does video and audio streaming, or know what the initials RTSP, RTP, or SIP mean, then Live555.com’s offering might be just what you need.
