I suspect that he may have misunderstood your question.  You were (I 
presume) asking if multicast RTP sessions could be played, using RTSP for 
session control.  However, he might have thought that you were asking if 
RTSP itself could use multicast - which, of course, it can't, because RTSP 
runs over TCP.

If the box uses RTSP for session control, and also supports multicast, then 
I would assume that it can play multicast RTP sessions.  But of course 
you'll need to contact the company to be sure.  (Who knows - maybe the box 
uses the LIVE.COM code also :-)

Please let us know what you find out.
