[Live-devel] testMPEG2TransportStreamer to Amino STB

This will work, but only because this demo application does not - by 
default - have a built-in RTSP server.  If you enable the built-in 
RTSP server, then you  won't be able to use it (i.e., using a 
"rtsp://" URL) to receive the unicast stream.

However, as I've noted before, the "testOnDemandRTSPServer" 
application *does* allow you to stream (via unicast) to an Amino STB 
(provided that you enter the appropriate "rtsp://" URL).  This works; 
I suggest you use it.

(OTOH, I don't recommend trying to use the Amino STB without entering 
a "rtsp://" URL.  You might be able to get this to work, but it's not 
the proper way to access a/v streams using a media player client.)
