[Live-devel] Ports for RTSP

[Tran Minh Son]

Hi Ross Finlayson
Thank you for your answer. Can you show me how I can "order" the media 
with TCP not UDP using OpenRTSPClient (Sorry that I didnot check the 
syntax of OpenRTSPClient, you are here that is why I am lazy :-))
I wonder how many clients the MediaServer can serve simutanously through 
TCP using  only one port
Regards
