[Live-devel] A stupid question (I hope)

This is strange.  Could you re-run "openRTSP" with the "-V" (verbose 
output) option, and let us know what you see?

Also, could you try running "openRTSP" from a different computer, to see if 
that makes a difference?

Another thing you could try is running "testMP3Streamer" (instead of 
"testOnDemandRTSPServer").  "testMP3Streamer" streams via multicast rather 
than unicast.  First, though, you will need to enable its built-in RTSP 
server, by uncommenting the line
         #define IMPLEMENT_RTSP_SERVER 1
in "testMP3Streamer.cpp", and then recompiling.

No, that won't work with the RTSP server that's built into 
"testOnDemandRTSPServer" (or "testMP3Streamer"), because it currently 
doesn't implement RTP-over-TCP streaming.
