[Live-devel] openrtsp stackoverflow

However, it does use the "LIVE555 Streaming Media" code (for RTSP 
client support), so this is of interest to us.

No, it's not.  Please make your server available on the public 
Internet (i.e., not behind a NAT), and send us the (publically 
accessible) "rtsp://" URL, so we can test this for ourselves.

No, there's no infinite recursion (and so there should be no stack 
overflow) happening here.  Between the call to "continuePlaying()" 
and the next call to "afterGettingFrame1()", the code returns to the 
event loop (to handle the reception of the incoming network packet).

But again, in order to debug your problem, I would need to know the 
(publically accessible) "rtsp://" URL of your stream.
