That's strange.  The following two things should behave identically (if 
you've set
"reuseFirstSource" to "True"):
1/ Setting
         inputFileName = "test.m4v";
     and running
         testOnDemandRTSPServer
     and
2/ Setting
         inputFileName = "stdin";
     and running
         testOnDemandRTSPServer < test.m4v

What operating system are you running?
