I do.

I did.

Yeah, but the RTSP negotiation goes well, and after that it would be RTSPServer's turn to start sending RTP packets, which it doesn't. Could it be a server-related problem?
What I can see is Realplayer terminating its RTSP dialogue and waiting for packets that should come (but never come). Isn't it what the client is supposed to do?

I can and I will try.

Great. Thank you.
