[Live-devel] RTP over RTSP: client sending RR "early"

Perhaps.  But is this really a problem worth worrying about?  If this happens only occasionally (in extreme situations), and merely causes the server to send back a "method not allowed" RTSP response, then is this a major problem?  It seems to be merely an 'annoyance'.

Maybe, but that would require a major change to the client code that might break other things - and wouldn't help with existing clients anyway.  So I'm not going to go down that route just to deal with a rare issue that - as noted above - appears to be just an annoyance.
