[Live-devel] RTSP - session not timing out

Yes, pass a non-zero "reclamationTestSeconds" parameter to 
"RTSPServer::createNew()".  This will cause the server to reclaim any 
sessions if no RTSP commands - or RTCP "RR" packets - are received 
within the specified number of seconds.

A reasonable value of "reclamationTestSeconds" is 45.

(Note, BTW, that the Amino set-top box does *not* send RTCP packets, 
because it is requesting and being sent a raw-UDP stream rather than 
RTP.  However, in place of RTCP "RR" packets, the Amino box will 
periodically issue RTSP "GET_PARAMETER" commands instead.)

Note also that you can't currently use the "reclamationTestSecond" 
feature for multicast streams, or for unicast on demand streams where 
"reuseFirstSource" is set to True.
