[Live-devel] rtsp and keeping alive connection with rtcp packets

Hi

I am working with an axis camera which streams mpeg4 video.
When I try to receive the video with live555, It works fine for about 60 sec, and then the axis server sends a goodbye message. (the protocl is RTSP // UDP/RTP)

Then I tried it with their web interface (which uses rtsp too), and I can see a RTCP packet every 10 sec called "receiver report / source description" from my computer to the axis server. If I block this packet with my firewall, the server stop sending video, so I assume this is required to keep alive the connection.

Why doesn't live555 sends this type of packet to keep the connection alive ? 

Thank you
