Another thing you could do is use a non-privileged port number (i.e., one 
that's >1024) instead of the default RTSP port number of 554.  Typically, 
7070 is used for this.  E.g., you could replace the line
         rtspServer = RTSPServer::createNew(*env);
with
         rtspServer = RTSPServer::createNew(*env, 7070);

Of course, if you do this, your "rtsp://" URLs will need to include the 
(non-default) port number: 7070.
