Fortunately, you can use the ffmpeg executable first 
to test if what you want to do works or not before 
implementing it in your application.

I wasn't aware that live555 supports mpeg-ts over udp.
Does it?

Definitely: Muxing transport streams is not trivial 
and bugs exist.
(I suspect sending data over udp is trivial.)
