[Live-devel] RTSP server in multicast: livenessTimeoutTask API

[Ross Finlayson]

>why multicast checking removed from livenessTimeoutTask API???

Because there was no longer any need to exclude multicast sessions 
from the normal client liveness checking.

I.e., as with all RTSP/RTP streams, the server will timeout the 
stream if it doesn't receive any indication of 'liveness' (e.g., a 
RTCP packet, or a RTSP command) from a client within the timeout 
period.

(Note that all clients - whether unicast or multicast - are required 
to send back RTCP "RR" packets.)

In any case, as always, you can disable the server's liveness 
checking by starting the server with the "reclamationTestSeconds" 
parameter set to 0.
