[Live-devel] RTSP Client and multicast with AXIS cameras

[kamil]

Hi,
Thank you for those improvements - I have waited for them too.

In fact it is called an 'Ax protocol' - which is some undocumented Microsoft 
crap - see :http://www.axis.com/techsup/faq/index.php?id=53526.
Maybe if some more people complain about it Axis will fix it in some future 
version.

Some other broken things in Axis protocol I noticed are:
1.
Timeout for multicast session - Axis232D stops sending multicast stream 
after 60 seconds, I found following explanation:
http://www.axis.com/techsup/cam_servers/dev/cam_rtsp_api.htm
'If the Session header includes a timeout parameter, then the session needs 
to be kept alive. This can be done by sending RTSP requests to the server 
containing the session identifier (e.g. OPTIONS) within the specified 
timeout time or through the use of RTCP.'
2.
Authorization for RTPoverHTTP is required in initial GET/POST requests ( eg. 
header field 'Authorization: Basic xxxxx' ), and not only in tunneled RTSP.
