I don't know. I suspect that something on your network is buggy and gets
upset if there's (fairly) high multicast traffic on your LAN.

Perhaps multicast traffic is not being routed to your wireless LAN?
I suggest trying instead using unicast streaming - i.e., using the
"testOnDemandRTSPServer" demo application.
