Perhaps the problem is with your "self implemented media server"?  I 
suggest that you try testing your client using one of our 
(unmodified) RTSP server applications - "testOnDemandRTSPServer" or 
"live555MediaServer" first.

It might also help if you could get our "openRTSP" client running on 
your iPhone/iPad, and first use that - rather than your own client 
application - for testing.
