[Live-devel] How to drop an active ServerMediaSession?

Unfortunately there's currently no way for the server to arbitrarily 
terminate a stream.

However, if you give a non-zero value to the "reclamationTestSeconds" 
parameter when you create the "RTSPServer", then the server will 
terminate any unicast stream for which the server hasn't received a 
RTCP "Reception Report" packet (from the client) within the specified 
number of seconds.

(Unfortunately, this feature currently doesn't work for streams that 
come from a single input source - i.e., when you set the 
"reuseFirstSource" to True when creating the 
"ServerMediaSubsession".  This is a bug that I need to fix.)
