It is an RTSP server feed from an Video4Linux device that support H264 format.

It is based on :

libv4l-dev to capture video frames
liblivemedia-dev (http://www.live555.com) to implement RTSP server

Dependencies

liblivemedia-dev > live.2012.01.07 (need StreamReplicator)
libv4l-dev
liblog4cpp5-dev

git submodule init
git submodule update
cmake .
make

If it fails you will need to install libv4l-dev liblivemedia-dev liblog4cpp5-dev.
If it still not work you will need to read Makefile.

Install

cpack .
dpkg -i h264_v4l2_rtspserver*.deb

Raspberry Pi

This RTSP server works on Raspberry Pi using :

the unofficial V4L2 driver for the Raspberry Pi Camera Module http://www.linux-projects.org/modules/sections/index.php?op=viewarticle&artid=14

sudo uv4l --driver raspicam --auto-video_nr --encoding h264
the official V4L2 driver bcm2835-v4l2

sudo modprobe -v bcm2835-v4l2
