[Live-devel] RTP-over-TCP streaming (Noam Camiel)

[Ross Finlayson]

As I have noted in the past (several times now), the issue with the 
server handling incoming RTSP commands (after the initial "PLAY"), if 
RTP-over-TCP streaming is used, is a known problem.  When this is 
solved, I will let this mailing list know.

In the meantime, if you want to use RTP-over-TCP streaming with our 
server, then you should *not* send RTSP commands as 'keep alive' 
indicators.  Instead, you *must* send RTCP "RR" packets.  Note that 
RTCP is a *mandatory* part of the RTP specification, so if your 
client does not send RTCP "RR" packets, then it is not in compliance 
with the standard, and you cannot expect a standards-compliant server 
to work with it.
