[Live-devel] MPEG2TransportStreamRTPSource and testMPEG2TSreceiver: not quite right...

Yes - sorry.

Note that when MPEG Transport Stream data is streamed, its contents 
are not modified at all.  Therefore, the data that you receive (using 
either a RTSP client, or your "testMPEG2TransportStreamReceiver" 
application) should be exactly the same as the original, provided 
that you don't encounter packet loss.

Therefore, if you have trouble playing the received video, but not 
the original source video, then you are probably seeing packet loss. 
You may be able to overcome this by increasing your OS's socket 
reception buffer.  (Enter "LIVE555 increaseReceiveBufferTo" into a 
search engine.)
