No, it opens the file only once - for each client.

However, because you are streaming from a live source - rather than 
from a prerecorded file - you want the source to be opened only once 
(for the first client), and then reused for subsequent clients that 
request the same stream.

To do this, you will need to change "False" to "True" in the line
	Boolean const reuseSource = False;
in "mediaServer/DynamicRTSPServer.cpp".
