[Live-devel] Implicit RTSP session timeout

[Juha Ylipekkala]

Hello everyone,

I spotted a small problem with timeouts using live555 and vlc: when
an RTSP server does not give an explicit timeout for the session,
live555 RTSP client does not use the implicit 60 second timeout
specified in the RFC. Would things break seriously if you changed
the constructor of RTSPClient to set the session timeout to 60
seconds? VLC counts on a non-zero timeout parameter, and it won't
start a keepalive thread for a zero value.

It is possible to go around this in vlc with minor code changes, but
since it's in the rfc... :)

Cheers,
