[Live-devel] unexpected "StreamClose" in VLC under FreeBSD

[Erik van Dort]

Hi,

I could agree to that if this would happen everytime running openRTSP, 
like it does happen everytime running VLC. But this shutdown by the Axis 
camera happened only during the first openRTSP session, and normally in 
VLC it took longer than 5 seconds until VLC showed the "StreamClose" 
message.

After this first openRTSP session, I tried maybe up to 10 to 15 times to 
reproduce the problem in openRTSP, but the problem did not appear again. 
So my conclusion is that VLC shows different behavior than openRTSP 
during an rtsp session with my Axis camera.

cheers, Erik
