Hey guys -

I have the live555StreamingServer serving up MPEG2-TS files for me, and it works great!

When I view it with VNC, everything is perfect - yet when I connect with non-standards-compliant Windows Media Player to view the RTSP stream, it fails.

I've wiresharked the handshake, and it's almost right (DESCRIBE, SETUP) up to the point where you would excpect a "PLAY" command to be issued, at which point the WMP for some reason issues an HTTP GET on the file (complete with http headers).

I'm sure I'm not the first to have hit this - so has anyone out there modified the live555server codebase to allow this hackney WMP handshake to work?

Without support for WMP, I'm sorta dead in the water.

K
